GO FOR IT AND TO PUSH SOMEONE'S BUTTONS
To go for it is an expression used to encourage an action, to say “it is ok” or “sure” it is what we use to say in Spanish “HÁGALE
Let’s see how it works:
Scenarios:
Bryan is at his new friend’s house and he needs to use the restroom so he politely asks:
- Can I use the restroom? – Yes, of course! GO FOR IT, it is the second door to the left.
- If you like cooking so much, why don’t you enroll yourself in a cooking school? I think you should totally GO FOR IT!
- Dude, can I borrow your surfboard for this weekend? – Sure, GO FOR IT
- Do you think it is ok if I tag along this weekend and come with you camping? – Sure, I think it is ok, as long as you bring your own tent then GO FOR IT!
TO PUSH SOMEONE’S BUTTONS
This expression is used to show anger or discomfort to a situation, let’s say someone is offending you or having an inappropriate behavior, then in Spanish you would say (ME ESTÁ SACANDO LA PIEDRA) that’s what pushing someone’s buttons means.
Let’s see how it works:
-My daughter’s school called to say she is skipping class quite often, I warned her, I said “if you keep PUSHING MY BUTTONS there will be no birthday party for you this year young lady”
- It really PUSHES MY BUTTONS when people are disrespectful and inconsiderate.
- At the end of the day he PUSHED MY BUTTONS for a long time, so I don’t regret what I did, he did deserve that punch in the face.
