all day

From sunrise onwards

All day means for the entire duration of a day, from morning to night: I could eat pizza all day.

The phrase often emphasizes duration or persistence: We waited all day for the delivery.

In slang, all day signals strong agreement or enthusiasm—something you'd happily do repeatedly: Tacos? All day.
