shoot from the hip

Originally made by Adam Waugh of California, meaning "to hump".

It originated from the motion given when a gunman shoots from the hip, and the recoil of the gun gyrates his hip back and forth. This motion is often simulated, with a pistol-shaped hand at the hip, in slow motion, to point out a girl with whom one would like to "shoot from the hip" with to one's friends.

Billy was doing fine with his cousin as his date to prom until he started to shoot from the hip.
