Sabine answered Wednesday May 16 2007, 8:13 pm: Well, the phrase is sometimes stated "kicking ass first and taking names later." What it means is that someone goes into a situation, aggressively straightens it up, and THEN finds out the details. It implies that the person doesn't dilly-dally and takes control of the situation right away. [ Sabine's advice column | Ask Sabine A Question ]
