Re: Getting on like fire

I think it’s a British thing.

Seven Samurai influenced The Magnificent Seven, which influenced Sholay.

It means getting along with someone really well. Like really really really well.

Urdu equivalent would be "ghee shakkar aik hona".

Re: Getting on like fire

You guys are spot on (and I wasn’t completely off). Wiki : “The film drew heavily from the conventions of Western films, especially Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns, such as Once Upon a Time in the West, and John Sturges’ film The Magnificent Seven, itself being a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 film, Seven Samurai. Sholay was also influenced by the westerns of Sam Peckinpah, such as The Wild Bunch (1969) and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973); and also by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969).”

(sigh, Paul Newman. They don’t make men like that anymore).

^ Off-screen, too?

@Ghost. Considering his leftist politics and agnosticism, we just might've. (But with a face like that, does anyone need a reason. Haha).

The idiom is easier understood if you've had the misfortune of watching a house catch fire. 'Great guns' is another one I've heard; "We were going great guns until I found out he was gay."

Sometimes it happens..... that those whom you "get on with like fire" may burn you.

Re: Getting on like fire

^ Strong honesty. Good for you. Totally serious. The first step on getting over huge personal demons and hurtles from past experiences that are now hindering us in the present is to admit that they actually exist.
