burn the breeze

To move like your ass is one fire.

Was once a common phrase used by cowboys to mean riding at full speed.
The gang is looking to get some Qdoba.
Qdoba closes at 9:00. It's 8:30.
We're all too drunk to drive, Google maps tells us it's a 30 minute walk.
Me to the gang: "Shit, boys, let's burn the breeze."
We sprint to Qdoba.
Delicious.

blow with the breeze

A person who cannot firmly establish loyalties, opinions, thoughts, or ideas. Uncommitted.
My wife & I definitely have our problems. My daughter loves to get in the middle of the drama and pick sides. One day she's on my team, the next she's on my wife's. She just blows with the breeze!

Shoot the breeze

To just hang out and bull shit about random stuff.

Maybe even smoke some.
Me and dude were lampin out front, and out of nowhere we started to shoot the breeze.

Knees in the breeze

An expression sometimes used by military airborne personnel to describe the act of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.
The jumpmaster stood up, looked at the wide-eyed group of new recruits and hollered "Come on LADIES...it's time to put your KNEES IN THE BREEZE!"
