arm to the teeth



arm to the teeth

Prepare thoroughly. Often used in a military setting (since "arm" means "to equip with weapons"). Before we storm the city, we better arm to the teeth against the insurgents. You better arm to the teeth before you tackle this project—I don't want anything to go wrong!
