This week's expression sounds unpleasant and also dangerous.

I'm a little worried about Ana and Jonathan.

Hey, Ana, will I see you at Fred's graduation party tonight?

No.

Can't make it.

My deadline for the teacher training video got moved to tomorrow instead of next week.

Wow.

Sounds like you're really under the gun.

Need help?

Yes.

Here.

Can you edit these by five?

Uh, okay.

Well, I'm under the gun.

No, Jonathan, we're under the gun.

If you are under the gun, you feel stressed out and under pressure.

You might feel this way when you have a big project at school, a deadline at work or when you have to make a difficult decision by a given time.

And that's English in a minute.
