Dear all,

Please let me know by return with thanks for the meaning of the below sentence:
I've picked up the words that i hope will cause least confusion to those who don't go through life with hammer and tongs.
As for me, it's difficult to have a full understanding about " go through life with hammer and tongs". Is that it have an idiomatic meaning??

Thanks in advance for your kind help.
Best regards,
Mayflower

Hammer and tongs means they are always arguing.
