"At A Drop Of A Hat"..........
To do something at the drop of a hat means to do it immediately, without delay and at the slightest provocation; on the slightest signal or at urging. Sidebar: This idiom may have come from the American Old West, when various fights, contests, and duels began with a signal consisting of a man grabbing his hat and thrusting it toward the ground. |
