Putting out fires

A very common figurative way of suggesting or actually solving a series of crises in some context or other.

Jane as mother had a day of "putting out fires", as she resolved minor crisis' for different members of her family. Finding her son Tommy's lost pet bunny, salvaging daughter Katie's science project after it fell off the table and broke, picking-up hubby's dry cleaning and various other little dramas strewn in her path.

Pepper Potting

Named after the army manoeuvre based on the principle of fire and movement. That is, firing and moving, often in pairs, with one soldier firing to suppress the enemy whilst the other moves either toward the enemy or to a more favourable position. Pepper potting in sex involves one or two males engaged in sex with a single female, whilst more wait and move in once the initial pair have shot their loads.

Gaz, Mikey, John and Simon were pepper potting Charlie the other night and she fucking loved it.

Putting

I) That awkward sound when you walk into a bathroom and you hear someone who couldn't physically hold it in ..

II) The sound you make when it ejects like a pellet gun.

Dave: Oh man, I just walked into the bathroom and heard another guy putting..
Matt : Putting?
Dave: as in putt putt putt putt putt
