[austechwriter] Re: Using the word 'anger' in marketing text





It's not just an IT expression. Googling for "shot fired in anger" returns
several hundred examples. My guess is that it started out as a military
expression --

"They surrendered without a shot being fired in anger"
"The fort was scrapped without a shot ever being fired in anger"

-- and eventually escaped to the wider world.
