paint the town red

To go out and have a good a time. Usually, but not requiring, the aid of alcohol or other mind altering substances. The phrase come from an Englishman who after a fox hunt (because that's what the British do ) got so drunk with buddies that they literally found some paint and proceed to go all extreme makeover: village edition on the town.

You frank, wanna go paint the town red later?

painting the town red

"Painting the town red" means to party, run wild, and have fun. It can also be used to express the need/want to surprise and gain the attraction of the opposite gender (as seen in example 2).

Example 1:

On the phone one lonely Friday night...

Ring Ring!

Sally: Hello?

Joe: Hey, Sal. It's Joe!
Sally: Oh, hey Joe... How are you tonight?
Joe: I'm good. You?
Sally: I'm alright... I just finished my homework, and... I'm alone. Karmen was going out to eat with Jeremy, and Lillyanna was going to a party with Annie, so I'm just going to eat and go to bed after some Facebook.
Joe: Oh, I'm sorry...
Sally: Well, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go-
Joe: Wait! How would you like to go out with Tony and me tonight? We're going to party and do some painting the town red after a few drinks at the Irish Pub downtown!
Sally: Really? Joe, that sounds awesome! Here, can you pick me up in an hour?
Joe: Sure thing, Sal!
Sally: Bye!
Joe: Adios.

Example 2:

Joe and Tony arrive at Sally's house an hour after the phone call...

Joe: Sally? You in here?
Sally: Yep! How do you like my outfit?
Tony: Whistles Sally, you look... sexy!
Joe: Sally, you...
Sally: Cleavage, huh?
Joe and Tony: Yes MA'AM!
Sally: Well, what are we waiting for? To the pub!
