A friend loves the phrase "make my day." It is make my day this and make my day that with her. Everytime she said the words I go like, what is it she's really trying to express?
I know these words were made popular by Clint Eastwood aka Dirty Harry years ago. And it means.. it means.. err it means...? Actually come to think of it I dont know exactly what it means. Maybe that's why I dont use the phrase..
So here I share with you exactly what it is supposed to mean..
Meaning
Carry on with what you are doing - it will give me an excuse to behave badly.
Origin
This line was made famous by the Clint Eastwood character Inspector (Dirty) Harry Callahan in the 1983 film Sudden Impact - the fourth film of the Dirty Harry series. Callahan encouraged felons to commit crimes so that he would have an excuse to shoot them. In Sudden Impact he dares a crook to shoot his hostage with the line "Go on punk, make my day".
ps - I thought the way the girl was using it was wrong. And I was right (nak cakap jugak tu..).
