English term or phrase: <b>gun to my head?</b>
Um amigo perguntou ao outro:
"Is it a first time you've watched this film? So, who was your favorite artist in their post-impressionist show?"
E ele respondeu:
"You mean, gun to my head?I don't know."

Ao pé da letra, significa arna na cabeça. Mas tenho certeza que não é.
Gostaria da sugestão dos senhores pra traduzir, por gentileza.

Dependendo do contexto, o verbo "escolher" poderia ser trocado por outro.
Mas o principal é "ter que" fazer alguma coisa por ter uma arma cabeça.

Assim, de cara?


Explanation:
Uma pergunta feita de repente, pra ser respondida logo de cara. De acordo com o dicionário informal, um dos significados possíveis da expressão "de cara" seria "prontamente".
Espero ter ajudado.
