At The Drop Of A Hat

Willing to do something immediately.



This saying is said to come from the American West, where the signal for a fight was often just the drop of a hat. This may be as it was necessary to remove certain items of clothing such as a hat to be better able to fight.

Ex: He loved her so much he would be there for her at the drop of a hat.



Spanish: a la más mínima



German: in null Komma nichts.
