In American English, (well, American Northeast English, anyway), “carry on” has a slightly formal flavor; it’d be a bit more natural in a military setting (“Very good. Carry on, soldier. I will try jokingly invoke that kind of authoritative tone in a conversation. “Go ahead” is more common as an informal permission/suggestion to proceed, “go on”, would more often be a request to continue (“please go on, what happened next?

“Cheesecake” is a traditional slang term for pictures of attractive women, particularly movie stars and most especially those pictures which show the women in seductive poses or less than fully clothed. A very good analogy, a soft and sweet one.

In recent years, the back-form “beefcake” has been introduced as the masculine equivalent.

We can understand anything of that type. They are typically seen as people getting out of a theater or participating in a movie. In short, they can refer to people they have seen “live”.

The closest thing to a gender-neutral equivalent that I can think of is the “eye candy”, which is sometimes used to refer to a visually attractive

individual.
