Hello.
I stumbled upon this idiom 'let fly' on the internet and asked a native speaker of English about it. He had never heard of this idiom.
Firstly, I would like to know if it is prevalent in the UK and North America?
Secondly, If this idiom can only be used as an alternative to 'to attack verbally'?
What about "to argue", "to reprimand" and "to fend for oneself"? Does the idiom cover these expressions?
Thank you.
