Was she armed to the teeth?

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

panoplied?

No, she wasn't, Vadim. Also I don't think the word 'panoply' is an idiom.

what about she was dressed fit to kill?

Spot on, Vadim! John said she was dressed to kill, which means to wear clothes that attract attention and admiration.

Hopefully John survived after all :)

Haha, evidently she was dressed just to threaten))

Packing heat?

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" :)

Yes, Uly, sometimes several idioms fit ;-) Thank you! Yours is new for me. 'up in arms' means to be angry. Live and learn!

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

UP IN ARMS = to be indignant. I will definitely use it!
