"Playing fast and loose" (when something is on or off, depending on the mood)

"Flirting" (as when the tail of an arrow flicks from side to side as it heads for the target)

"Rule of thumb" (various definitions, but the way fistmele is measured on a longbow - clenched fist with thumb raised)

"drawing the longbow" (bragging)
