Rather than exaxt sentences, you need to look at the context to
understand if someone was "shooting off their mouth". The boy spoke
rudely to the teacher, but he slipped with a swear word that got

The man complained about the check point, shooting off his mouth
at the police officer, but the man's breathalizer registered
2.0.
My friend always shoots her mouth off that I don't pick nice
boyfriends, until a loser she dated dumped her.
