Fit To Burn 

To be a straight up player with no remorse. Slogan made famous by the Guns N' Roses song "You Could Be Mine".

I'm a cold heartbreaker fit to burn, and I'll rip your heart into.

fit to burn

To call someone “fit to burn” is to be chastising someone in a relatively extreme way. For example, when someone has done something really bad to another person.

Usually used when describing someone else’s behaviour - you wouldn’t necessarily use this about someone you yourself are chastising.

Also sometimes used when the alleged culprit hasn’t actually done what they’re being accused of, but the person who is doing the accusing has been told that they did.

Possibly quite specific to North-West England.

“She was calling him fit to burn when she thought he was the one that smashed her windows”
