How it's used
Beyond its literal meaning regarding firearms, this term is frequently used as a slang metaphor for premature ejaculation. The shift from a mechanical failure to a bodily one highlights the loss of control over a trigger mechanism. It carries a slightly humorous or blunt tone when used in this sexual context.
Examples
Don't leave the gun lying around, be careful it doesn't go off and hurt someone.
