Haha, I highly doubt she has ever seen a real gun :-) No, Marissa, the idiom is quite peaceful.

panoplied?
Alexander Machtakovadded a comment 8 years ago
No, she wasn't, Vadim. Also I don't think the word 'panoply' is an idiom.
Vadim Dzharatovadded a comment 8 years ago
what about she was dressed fit to kill?
Alexander Machtakovadded a comment 8 years ago
Spot on, Vadim! John said she was dressed to kill, which means to wear clothes that attract attention and admiration.
Vadim Dzharatovadded a comment 8 years ago
Hopefully John survived after all :)
Alexander Machtakovadded a comment 8 years ago
Haha, evidently she was dressed just to threaten))

Packing heat?
Alexander Machtakovadded a comment 8 years ago
Alex, sorry, no, the idiom's been figured out by Vadim. It's "to be dressed to kill"

I thought it was "up in arms" :)
Alexander Machtakovadded a comment 8 years ago
Yes, Uly, sometimes several idioms fit ;-) Thank you! Yours is new for me. 'up in arms' means to be angry. Live and learn!
⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago
UP IN ARMS actually means to be indignant about something. For example, "the State just published the new minimum wage for educators and all the teachers in our school are up in arms." (they're outraged and can't believe what they're seeing)

Another idiom that fits here is ARMED TO THE TEETH
Alexander Machtakovadded a comment 8 years ago
UP IN ARMS = to be indignant. I will definitely use it!
