Another vote here for "pulled the trigger".
And karma, too - the word is pretty much meaningless these days.

THEN where THAN is proper. Way too many get it wrong; It's not difficult.
THEN is to be used to denote a time frame: "You go first, THEN I will follow."
THAN is to be used in comparison: "I'm smarter THAN the average monkey." "My car gets less mpg THAN yours."
ADVISE: You can ADVISE someone, but you can't ask for ADVISE: you want ADVICE.
+1 to karma; don't co-opt other philosophies if you don't understand them.
+1 Squire, especially if you actually own one.

All you who have given the +1 to the Karma thing, I salute you!
For some reason Ive seen that word used erroneously so many time on TB this week alone.

Without getting to deep into it, the concept of Karma is shared by many spiritual disciplines. There are a wide number of definitions.
Restricting your understanding to one definition, and disliking misuse of the word within that sphere, does not account for the many others.
