fire away
Start your questions
Fire away is an informal invitation to proceed, typically said to someone who wants to ask questions or make requests.
The expression comes from the command to discharge weapons, but in everyday use it signals readiness to receive whatever someone has to say.
You have questions? Fire away.
It conveys openness and often a bit of impatience to get started.
