bust a cap
verb
- to fire a bullet; SHOOT.
I'm going to bust a cap in your ass.
by D.J. Pabst, Stroudsburg, PA, USA, Dec 19 1997.
notes
- The "percussion cap," introduced around 1830, was used to make muzzle-loading rifles fire reliably under any weather condition. (It replaced the flint.) The firearm's hammer would strike the cap, which would ignite the gunpowder, which would expel the bullet. The percussion cap gave way to the primer in modern breechloaded (rear-loaded) firearms. The primer is attached to the back end of the cartridge.
by William G., Tucson, AZ, USA, Oct 28 1999.

G
go postal
verb
- to perpetrate acts of premeditated violence.
by Michael Venables, USA, Oct 01 2001.
- to go insane. Notes: the term originated from the cases of United States Postal Service employees who, due to job stress or other traumatic influence, have murdered coworkers on the job, usually with a firearm. Only later did the definition open up to general insanity, but the term still has connotations of violence.
