shooting the moon

to move out in the middle of the night when you can't pay your rent. Usually items you own, like furniture, are left behind because you're leaving so quickly. Chiefly British, used by George Orwell in 'Down and Out in Paris and London'.

"because we're shooting the moon at 2:30 this morning, we're only taking the smallest, easiest to carry things with us."

(out loud) "Uh...I'm shooting blanks so it's OK."
Aaliyah: "All right."
R. Kelly: "Uh...can you put on this schoolgirl outfit and pull your hair back so it looks like you're 12 instead of 15?"
Aaliyah: "OK."

(3 months later)
R. Kelly: "Shit. That didn't work, I knocked her up. Oh well, maybe she'll die in a plane crash or something."
