Idioms: CALL THE SHOTS!



MEANING: make the decisions

EXAMPLE: While our boss is on vacation, Bob will call the shots.

ORIGIN OF THE IDIOM: The first refers to someone practising with a rifle and indicating where their target is going to be by calling it out in advance. You might think of clay pigeon shooting where the person in charge of the machine is told to pull and thereby release the clay pigeon for the rifle user to fire their gun and try to hit it.

Another theory is that it comes from the game of billiards where the player announces in advance where they are going to hit
