Fogo no buraco


Explanation:
Carla, eu usaria a sua sugestão. Essa expressão (fire in the hole) foi muito utilizada durante a Guerra do Vietnã, quando os soldados americanos jogavam granadas dentro dos túneis e abrigos usados pelo inimigo, para alertar os soldados que estavam por perto. Um abraço!
