fuck, fight, or hold the light

A better way to ask, "fish or cut bait" or "piss or get off the pot"; in other words, to tell someone to be decisive in making a decision.

Literally it probably refers to a situation where you're competing for a woman with another guy.

In other words: "Are you going to fuck her(ie. win), fight him(ie. TRY to win), or hold a light up for his convenience while he fucks her?(ie. be a total loser)"

Sort of a takeoff on the whole "fight or flee" natural evolutionary response.

John: Yo, Ron, it's your turn to bet!
Ron: I'm thinking
Ray: Enough thinking, already! Look - either fuck, fight, or hold the light!

Make the Light 

When you're coming up on a yellow light so you hit the gas and fly past before it turns red.

Dude 1 speeds up.
Dude 2: "Hey what're you doing??"
Dude 1: "I gotta make the light."
