Loose CannonLoose cannonFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search Look up Loose cannon inWiktionary, the free dictionary. The expression "loose cannon" or "loose cannon on deck" refers to an irresponsible and reckless individual whose behaviour (either intended or unintended) endangers the group he or she belongs to. The term originates in the Age of Sail, and wooden men-of-war. When a storm began, all cannons had to be securely fastened and tied in place; otherwise, they would roll uncontrolledly around the deck, causing havoc. A loose cannon, weighing hundreds of kilograms, would crush anything and anyone in its path, and possibly even break a hole in the hull, thus endangering the seaworthiness of the whole ship. The term "loose cannon" has also been a label given to police officers prone to reckless or vigilante behaviour. The 1971 film "Dirty Harry" is an iconic example of the "loose cannon cop" behaviour, as the main character Harry Callahan often disregards rules and regulations in his pursuit of justice. After a December 7, 1997 airing of The Simpsons, the term 'Loose Cannon' earned further notoriety among the comedic world when character Lionel Hutz in one line yelled, "A smashed hot-rod? A wrecked police cruiser? A destroyed house? I've had it with your renegade ways, Simpson. You're a loose cannon." Use of the term "loose cannon" has gained particular notoriety in Australia due to popular underground band "The Loose Cannons". Following a 2003 tour of the UK, France & Western New South Wales, The Loose Cannons achieved phenomenal success and media attention for inciting riots and encouraging nudity amongst fans during their shows. Professional wrestler Brian Pillman, known for his wild behaviour, adopted the nickname "The Loose Cannon" during a stint with the World Wrestling Federation in the mid-nineties.
