drop the hammer

The point near the end of a race where you surge with everything you have to pull away for the win.

I thought Ritz would keep it close, but Webb decided to drop the hammer with 500 to go!

drop the hammer

An idiomatic expression meaning roughly "to explode in a fit of rage and fury", it is derived from the action of a firearm hammer "dropping" -- or striking -- the firing pin which in turn impacts the round and causes the mini explosion that results in a bullet or other projectile being launched at a high velocity out of the end of a barrel.

The expression can be used in several different variations with the above definition: 1) ...part. in a draconian way 2) ...leaving a wake of destruction in its path 3) ...against a very specific target with precision; etc.

"I have a clear shot of the target. Requesting permission to engage."
"You have the green light. Drop the hammer on that motherfucker."
BANG. Bad guy fall down.

the hammer falls

"The hammer falls" means "this is at an end". The "hammer" falling is that of an auctioneer at the end of an auction or a judge at the end of a trial. The phrase should be used to deliver a dramatic, emphatic finality to the issue at hand.

Usage: "The hammer falls <time (optional)> on <subject, topic, etc.>."

Example: "The hammer falls today on Weebl and Bob. Bob is superior (and Weebl is now much flatter)."

Please omit any puns in actual usage.

To karate chop your penis six times in rapid succession and each chop shoots an individual load of semen.
