Is the captioned phrase an idom?
We open an email composition window, and dash off an email suggesting how much happier they will be if we go our separate ways. We hit send and head off to the lunchroom for a tasty cup of coffee. We know they’ll understand...then they walk through the door with a chainsaw, having the gall to suggest that our email came across as dismissive and mean! Since they have the chainsaw, they must be right.

| I have never heard that expression before, but I can understand the meaning I guess. |
