THEME THURSDAY: FAMOUS MOVIE LINES ('GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY'): meaning and examples

Hello, readers! For the first part of June we are continuing our Theme Thursday about Famous Movie Lines. Today we are looking at a line which the actor Clint Eastwood says in the movie Sudden Impact

Line: GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY.

Eastwood's character says this to a robber. It's his way of saying, "Try me. I would love to kill you. It would make my day." This is a classic "tough guy" character and a classic movie line.

Today, we use it more jokingly when a person tries to do something we don't want them to do. It's a warning that you will be very angry if they complete the action!

Example 1: You're seriously going to eat my last piece of pizza? Go ahead, make my day

Example 2: You just try and forget our anniversary. Go ahead, make my day.
