Kick it off the ground

Take away the handicap/Do it your way.

This comes from highschool football(American) when the extra point is about to be kicked. Some highschools use a tee to hold the ball after it's snapped, although most do not. If a kicker doesn't want the tee, he asks his coach to remove it and kick it as it was meant, off the ground.
Coach: Go ahead and kick it.

Kicker: What's the holder putting on the ground?

Coach: The tee you're going to kick off of.

Kicker: Really?

Coach: Fine, kick it off the ground.

flirting with dangerous ground

A person flirts with dangerous ground, when he or she consciously puts him/herself in a dangerous situation.

When your friend holds onto the Rook in the game of Rook, a natural reaction would be to say, "WOAH! You're flirting with dangerous ground here missy!"
"WOAH! You should have played the rook! You're flirting with dangerous ground here missy!"

A friend - "I don't agree with your definition of that idiomatic expression."
Me- "You'd better back off; you're flirting with dangerous ground."
