shoot me

Fire at me

Shoot me is an exclamation of exasperated resignation, inviting metaphorical death as punishment for some minor failing or preference: I like pineapple on pizza—shoot me.

It challenges critics to do their worst, implying the speaker won't apologize.

Sometimes used genuinely to express that a situation is unbearable: If I have to sit through another meeting like that, just shoot me.
