(Old West--when a person who 'shot from the hip' pulled their trigger in a proper draw (ie from a hip holster.) This is in direct contrast to a person who arrived to the gunfight with guns drawn. By extension, a person who 'shoots from the hip' possesses the positive quality of handling a situation in the prescribed mode.) I really like Vin Diesel's character; he sure shoots from the hip, boy!

Literally, it means to fire a pistol or firearm from the hip, instead of raising it up to aim properly. Slangwise it means to improvise or guess about the results of an action. No time, gotta shoot from the hip

Drinking wine, especially a nice expensive one, straight from the bottle, forgoing the glass, aerator, decanter, etc. "Shoot from the hip!" they said, as Jim slung back the bottle of 2005 Bordeaux and took a few big gulps.

the moment in which your gonna ejaculate on a girl. I'm gonna shoot it, bang-boom
Shoot from the hip Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom I don't never miss Hot sweaty steel, a woman's finger's on my gun Pull it hard, touch the trigger Squeeze it when I'm gone Ooh, come, woman, touch me, put it in your hand Take a hold heart and soul Honey, I'm your man Cock the hammer slowly and aim it at your love Put my barrel in your holsterHot and sticky, here it comes I got the bullet, load it up Slide it into place My emotions Coming down all across your face Like a velvet glove |

A 'hip' (no pun intended) way to take photographs with the LOMO Camera. Those who use this Russian camera usually carry it everywhere with them and call their hobby 'Lomography'. The camera has a special lens that gives sometimes erratic results, but eventually all photos look cool. 'Lomographers' shoot everyday objects as they travel and don't use the viewfinder; instead, they hold the camera at the hip and click - this increases the whole excitement of waiting for the film to develop, cuz u'r not sure what you will get.

Shooting a weapon while holding it really low, at hipline, as the name suggests. Usually done by only highly skilled marksmen, since aiming like that is very difficult. When I shoot from the hip, I need an entire magazine to hit the broad side of a barn.
