What does left no crumbs mean?
◻️Completely dominated
Left no crumbs is another way to say that someone completely obliterated (in a good way) another person, game, performance, look, etc. People typically use it with the "ate that" phrase to emphasize someone's fantastic achievement.
There is no clear creator to attribute the phrase to; instead, it organically evolved out of the "ate that" saying on social media. It gained popularity in 2017 but took off in early 2018 and is similar to the "left no prisoners" saying.
Examples of when you would see it include on Twitter when a person is stanning their favorite musician or in a message from your work boyfriend remarking how well you did on your presentation. You may also say it in person to your BFF after she sings great at a talent show.
Wow, Melanie, you ate that show and left no crumbs! YGG!

What does shoot my shot mean?
◻️I'm going for it
Shoot my shot is a phrase that refers to when you take a chance on something. It is similar to the "go for it" phrase and can be used for when you finally ask out a crush or stand up to a bully.
"Shoot my shot" involves gathering up the confidence to do something that you are normally too scared to do, and take matters into your own hands. The phrase comes from the idea of shooting a gun with a single bullet or taking an open shot in basketball or hockey.
No time better than now to shoot my shot and get that raise.
