Under the gun

If you're 'under the gun,' it means you're under a great deal of pressure to get something finished and there's not much time left.

Example:
-Hi, Elizabeth. So, how is your sister doing?
-I'm sorry, I really can't talk right now. I'm under the gun. My presentation has to be ready in an hour.
