at the drop of a hat

1. Careful not to anger the boss; he's been known to fire people at the drop of a hat.
2. In the summer, they've thrown a party or two at the drop of a hat.
3. Our neighbors love to get in their car and drive for hours at the drop of a hat. Sometimes they call to invite us.
4. Keep an eye on Tom at the party. He starts fights at the drop of a hat when he's had too much to drink.
5. The manager's strict, but he'll do what he can to help at the drop of a hat.


When you do something at the drop of a hat, you do it right away, without planning, as soon as you're given the opportunity or when pushed in some way.
