I haven't been on here as much as normal as I've had a busy week(for me). How is everyone? Anything cool happen?Anything to get off your chest? Or Just shoot the breeze

What an odd expression "shoot the breeze" is. Wouldnt the breeze knock your bullet off course? And if there is no breeze to shoot and you shoot anyway, is the bullet big enough to make a breeze? Important ponderings.

It's the exact futility of shooting something immaterial that explains the idiom
