| The trigger is the switch on the gun that you press to make it shoot. "Hair trigger" means that the tiniest little thing will be enough to make someone pull the trigger, or start an action. One piece of hair is very thin, and weighs very little, so that is being compared to other things, for example, a tiny noise could make a person jump. |
