I like the term pulled the trigger. It is a good analogy. A build up of tension, with careful analysis, a slow pull and bang, a lot of excitement.
Don't become a thread *******, Mike.
It is an assinine saying. Triggers are squeezed, not pulled.
People use this to appear cool on forums. It's right up there with "wrenching" and "poser"
As long as we are talking about phrases we hate:
The phrase I hate is Look at what I won on eBay.
You didnt WIN a damn thing.
You only paid more than anybody else was willing to pay.
Pulled the trigger, Squeeze the trigger I could care less.
I do actually like Trips my trigger when I see something that I like.
My nearest dealer is open 7 days a week, so nothing wrong with Monday. Or Sunday. And, yes, when a bike is sold, the gal in finance gets on the loudspeaker to start the announcement of the sale at which time the salespeople step to the nearest bike to prepare to honk a horn, the buyer rings the huge obnoxious bell, the horn honking starts and "Born to Be Wild" is played on the intercom. Finally, the buyers gets handshakes from all of the salespeople as they smile and say, "Welcome to the club!".

That may be the stupidest thing I have ever heard of doing.
