Armed to the teeth
Meaning .................
To be heavily armed.
Ex. Don't even think about
going into Chicago's housing projects unless you are armed to the teeth.
This is a pirate phrase originating in Port
Royal Jamaica in the 1600's. Having only single shot black powder weapons and
cutlesses, they would carry many of these weapons at once to keep up the fight.
In addition they carried a knife in their
teeth for maximum arms capability.
