phosgenic Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 One of my hockey coaches used to use the expression "chomping at the bit" all the time. Ex. This is a great team we're going to be playing here tonight, so we've gotta be chomping at the bit for all 3 periods Ex. We're playing a real hard working team here, they're gonna be chomping at the bit all night long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
