THE FIRST WORD

gunslinger
When Brett Favre, the former quarterback, was at his cannon-armed peak, he was commonly referred to as a "gunslinger"—a man who believed in his gifts and would try to make any throw, no matter how unlikely, whatever the consequences.

Other slang meanings of "gunslinger" include "a woman who 'shoots down' a pass made at her" and "a customer-service employee who is responsible for troubleshooting."
