full send

No holding back

Full send means committing completely to something with no hesitation or holding back.

The phrase comes from extreme sports, where a full send is an all-out attempt at a difficult trick or jump.

It has spread to general slang for any bold, uninhibited action: We're doing full send on this project, It's Friday night—full send.

Often used as an exclamation or hashtag to signal total commitment.
