What is the meaning of the phrase “go all “?
Is it from Crash Course Big History? How is it at around 10 minutes 28 seconds? Is an eruption
at the scale of millions of years almost constant? How come it’s impossible to blow up a super explosion with a nuke like the one that hits an asteroid (e.g. Grasshopper), but it’s dangerous if to go all Bruce Willis and shoot it with an asteroid (like the one I saw earlier) and a nuke can actually hurt earth!
Why doesn’t anyone turn into Bruce Willis?
How did you come to an opinion?
Read it as act the manner of, typically in an exaggerated way. This example is specifically referring to the movie Armageddon, where he attempted to blow up an asteroid with a nuclear bomb.
Athletes can not act like Bruce Willis, but not more. There’s nothing wrong with his acting, but don’t say that it means that “one must not be Bruce Willis”.
I don’t know enough about his films to know whether this is a reference to a particular character in a particular film, or whether it is suggesting that his characters in general tend to use an unreasonable level of violence.
Is this a reference to a movie? How do you prevent a volcanic eruption by using a thermonuclear device?
What do some people think about the ‘to be’ component, like ‘to get’ or the ‘to be’ component?
I call my school term Go, which has a multitude of meanings for many of my friends and family. This is one of those words with the most people around me. From the origin, the primary sense is to change one place to another (e.g. rushing from one place to another). Which one means “becoming something,” or to change your state? linking verb + adj.
- To become different, especially a bad way to go bald/blind/mad/bankrupt, etc.
- etc. To be different is to become different.
- Her hair is going grey. What about a woman with blonde blond hair?
- Milk has gone sour.
- What amazing things were going to happen to the little ones then all the memories went viral?
In formal registers, what you go / get /etc. are limited to adjective as to quality or state: she can go native, he can go barefoot, the woods can go silent, the sky can go cloudy, etc. In casual usage, however, anything goes ; you can go post or go medieval. You can do any of the following:
s she going lone wolf on his project?
The all here, like like or all like, can be interpreted as a filler. Though it can also be used for intensification, or conversely for hedging/quoting when means to say or express ( My dad goes “have you taken out the trash yet?” and I was all “I said I’d do it later” and my mom was like “Must we have this same argument every week?” “t”).
To go all Bruce Willis is probably just a even slangier way to say go Bruce Willis, i.e. “All Bobcats” or “All Bobcats.” ‘Brownies: At My Homefront’, done for stylistic/creative reasons to impart a friendly or casual tone. One could alternatively interpret it as perverse; to all Bruce Willis is to be in imitation of Bruce Willis, whereas to be Bruce Willis would suggest a more direct or complete personification. Some interesting posts on quotative all have beenn covered at EL&U by Hugo in 2012 and again by Sven Yangs in 2016.
