hit the ground running

Finding yourself in a situation that is fast-paced, and physically overwhelming. Often that feeling is heighted by a sense of mass confusion, and personal ineptness. Term was first coined to describe the "D-Day" invasion of World War 2. When Allied ships inflitrated Nazi shores, and infantry troops literally had to "hit the ground running", to keep from getting shot.

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.

Person1: Let's go through the mall, it's quicker.

Person2: Fine, kick it off the ground.

Golfer A: I'm not going to use a handicap, but you can.

Golfer B: Fine, you go ahead and kick it off the ground. I'm taking the strokes.

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."

The Battle Grounds

A pretty good half life mod IF in the next patch they fix melee system, new player skins, and much slower re-load times.
Why does it take a few seconds to re-load my longrifle!!! It takes me 1 minute to do it in real life.
