bazooka

You are asking me to make a prediction and I don't know which gun I've got - a bazooka or a water pistol.

"Y'all heard that bazooka that was dropped on the game, right? Boy, I must have had a thousand missed calls. Texts flooded."

Conservatives in both the US and UK need a "bigger bazooka" to fight the left, former Prime Minister Liz Truss has told an event in Washington DC.

Despite that, she said conservatives had to "challenge the system itself", saying: "It's not even enough to get the position of power that you need to deliver those policies because conservatives are now operating in a hostile environment... we essentially need a bigger bazooka in order to be able to deliver."

If this was France's backlash to what happened to them against Ireland in Marseille then it was more popgun than bazooka.
