Strict proper usage would be:
Myr astronauts trouble-shot themselves in the foot
when they "tripped on a power cable" in zero-G
as they were trouble-shooting the hull-puncture.
or perhaps:
"Yes, I'm trouble shooting (blam!, ka-pow!).
We are infested with Tribbles, so I am also
tribble-shooting, and I need more ammo!"
maybe:
I trouble-shooted my problem with the timing of
the in "Bugler's Holiday" - one simple cannot
triple-tongue a trumpet traditionally to teach
triple-tonging techniques to totally toothless
taciturn technicians!
