I use "barn burner" sometimes.

I also employ "toad strangler". A bit more obscure but certainly gets the point across.

In the movie A Long Hot Summer, Ben Quick played by Paul Newman is accused of being a barn burner. That’s where the phrase comes from. Next question.

Why is New York called the Empire state? Answer: Because they’ve won so many world series because the Umpires gave them all the close calls. Next question.

Why do they call it Guerrilla warfare?
Answer:Because they fight like gorilla’s where they’ll attack hard and fast, then run away. Next question, cause I am on a roll here.
