lives dangerously
Tempts fate constantly
To live dangerously is to take risks, court trouble, or ignore caution—whether literally through physical peril or figuratively through reckless choices: He lives dangerously, never wearing a helmet.
Often used with ironic understatement for minor risks: I'm living dangerously today—having a second cup of coffee.
