carry on
Continue without stopping
Carry on means to continue, especially despite difficulty or interruption: We'll carry on without her.
It also describes managing or conducting something: They carry on a thriving business.
In British usage, to carry on is to behave badly or make a fuss: Stop carrying on about it.
A carry-on is luggage small enough to bring aboard an aircraft.
