TO MAKE SPUR
Hello,
I don't understand very well the sense on this sentence:
'On the record, I had TO MAKE SPUR of the moment decisions which might not have had anything to do with the real situation. That was all right, though.'
Could someone explain it to me?
Thanks in advance, Jo.

Hi, 'Spur of the moment' is an idiom meaning 'now, quickly, without time to think' . That's what kind of decisions 'I' had to make. A somewhat similar idiom is 'off the cuff'.

I think this should be hyphenated:
spur-of-the-moment decisions
spur-of-the-moment decisions
