send it

Go for it

Send it is an exhortation to commit fully to a risky or bold action—jump off the cliff, take the shot, make the move.

The phrase originated in extreme sports culture, where hesitation can be more dangerous than commitment: You've been staring at this ski run for ten minutes—just send it.

It has spread to everyday contexts as encouragement to stop overthinking and act decisively: I wasn't sure about texting her, but my friend said send it.
