Fight Fire with Fire 

1. To meet aggression with aggression. In other words, if someone is talking shit about you, you talk shit back, or do something worse, such as beating their ass. Or say, if someone shoots up your house, you shoot up theirs, or do something worse, maybe like blowing it up. Basically, it means to get back at someone for what they did to you.

2. The opening track on Ride the Lightning, Metallica's second studio album. It is a fast-paced song, and it includes a good guitar solo, just like most Metallica songs. The song talks about revenge, and how war could end the world. A very awesome song to say the least.
1. Marshall: Bro, Ray keeps talking shit about you.
Jordan: Yeah, I know. I'm about to Fight Fire with Fire.
Marshall: And how are you gonna do that?
Jordan: By kicking his ass.

or

Marlon: Jamal, man, them boys just shot up Lisa's house!

2. Chris: Hey, Frank, you ever hear Fight Fire with Fire by Metallica?
Frank: Hell yeah, that song is amazing!

Frank: You think? Just listen to it!

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
