also als Beispiel:
"they make you look like a loose canon"
oder:
"now Foxxy may be loose, but she ain't no canon" :D

It's a spelling mistake, it should have a double N:

to be a loose cannon


Unfortunately there are apparently several threads missing on this from the archive.

It really should be a New Entry, but I'm not sure there's any one-word German equivalent, and I'm not sure how exactly to say 'dangerously unpredictable.' Auf gefährlicher Weise unberechenbar? Gefährlicherweise? Just gefährlich?




The line about 'She may be loose but she's no cannon' is a play on words alluding to 'loose woman':

Siehe Wörterbuch: loose woman

dankeschön, habs verstanden :)

Ach, diese unmoralischen Domkapitulare...
