Good to Avoid

We were caught flat-footed
He frequently shoots from the hip
We would be up the creek without a peddle
They couldn’t make heads or tails of the report
The sales campaign was a flop
I’ll touch base with you on this problem in May

Good to Use

We were surprised
He frequently acts before he thinks
We would be in a helpless situation
They couldn’t understand the report
The sales campaign was a failure
I’ll talk with you about this problem in May
