"Police in the UK this morning claimed to have seized parts of a 3D-printed gun, but it looks as if they may have jumped to the wrong conclusion."
Really annoyed they didn't use the phrase, "jumped the gun".
It's a Friday and everything...
- MartinCron 13y ago"Jumped the gun" has a different meaning and can't be used interchangeably with "jumped to the wrong conclusion" without further stilted language. This is what journalistic restraint looks like.
- growupkids 13y agoSo would you say he jumped the gun with his joke?
- vidarh 13y agoSince when has the British press ever worried about letting stilted language get between them and a poor gag.
- MartinCron 13y agoThat's why I'm admiring their restraint this time!
