Should "Carry On!" be our informal motto?

Of course we have "A right unexercised is a right lost," but that's kind of hard to get our of your mouth in an informal setting or as a greeting?

But what about "Carry On!"?

Some people are already using it as I have a couple of times on line and in person.

Down side, the term "carry on" is what my mom used to say when she was mad at me an my sistes for acting up, i.e., "stop all the carying on!"

Also downsie, sounds like "Party On dude" from that movie many years ago.

Upside, its easy to say, makes sense, anybody can undestand the term in the context of seeing an open carrier, etc. Also, in military settings, "carry on" is what the senior officer says when she's happy with what's going on and enters an area and wants everybody to just go on about their business and not stand by waiting for her to give orders.

I think that Mike's suggestion/question is not so much directed at T-shirt or hat design (although that could be included) but rather as a greeting/salutation or parting word.

To that end it is an excellent proposal and one to which we can all identify. Basically it signifies approval with what the individual or group is doing. I have used it as such myself and will do so much more frequently now.

Thanks Mike. Carry on.

I don't really care for it. To me, it means something like "continue what you're doing", and to substitute it for a greeting to get a feel for it: "Continue what you're doing" sort of leaves me flat. Instead of hello, for example, you're just telling 'em to go back to what they were doing when before you got there...which ain't the best greeting in my book. Ymmv of course.
