I was brought up to be just like him, unable to control myself, and using bad language on the slightest provocation.

Because I will kill you long before he even has the chance to if given the slightest provocation.

The older girls, teachers told me, often burst into tears at the slightest provocation.

He's not saying we should explode on the slightest provocation.

He would argue with the men at the slightest provocation, and had an opinion about everything.

They appeared to be ready to bolt at the slightest provocation.

He was a hard man who did not think twice about hitting me at the slightest provocation.

No doubt he'd been charged to kill her at the slightest provocation.

I did not know that they would actually be used, and without the slightest provocation.

My heart is ready to call it a day at the slightest provocation.
