trip your trigger

"Trip your trigger." Sparks or stimulates something that captures one's attention, drives one to want to take action, raises one's eyebrows out of curiosity or even sends one into a pseudo-orgasmic state. Growing up in the Midwest, rifles and bb guns were only used for shooting at tin cans, hunting small game for food or maybe taking down crows whose "voices" were relentless. (Yes, we did sell crows' feet for a few needed coins in those days...1950's.) Somewhere along the way, "trip your trigger" seemed nothing more than a spark that may have reminded us of a passion to "make a move" due to in-the-moment inspiration. The difference between "Trip your trigger" on remote farms in the Midwest in the 1950's vs. The World in 2017 now seems to be that of patience to exchange an empathetic response, asking what the other means prior to reacting to one's own emotionally-driven interpretation.
Based on your love of flight and aerodynamics, I'll bet I could "trip your trigger" by gifting you a drone and a ticket to participate in the races next summer in Oahu.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
