shoot yourself in the foot

An action of cowardice. Based on war times, one would shoot themselves in the foot in order to get out of fighting and be sent back home. Commonly regarded as dishonourable.

I asked my brother "Are you going to shoot yourself in the foot?". He did. He is now regarded as an outcast by all of his colleagues

Shoot yourself in the foot

To fuck yourself and perhaps your whole squad over.

JD, shoot yourself in the foot, again or should I say still considering it seems you're real good at it.
