A phrase adopted by Australian comedian Adam Hills, usually used as an expression of affirmation or encouragement.
It was coined during a 1999 stand-up performance in Melbourne, Australia. Hills had invited an audience member on stage to yell out his own name; instead, the man shouted "go you big red fire engine!" The phrase quickly became an audience chant, and Hills subsequently used it as an affirmative mantra, eventually basing a stand-up show around it in 2001.
"Go you big red fire engine!" came to be regarded as a general expression of encouragement, and with Hills' urging it began to weasel its way into pop culture: it ended up appearing in a Detroit newspaper and on a Swedish website, as well as being yelled out in the Australian Federal Parliament by then-Senator Natasha Stott Despoja.

"The only way I could get through every night (of a bad gig) was, as I walked on, to just go, 'go you big red fire engine!' I could face anything after saying that!" - Adam Hills, "Go You Big Red Fire Engine" (2001)

Get the african engineering mug.A great yet very much underestimated 8-bit console that was released towards the end of the 80's, developed by NEC Corp Japan, this 8-bit wonder (the size of an average person's palm) rivalled and put to shame 16-bit systems such as the Amiga and Atari ST's.
At the same era, the Sega Master System and Nintendo's NES was also doing the rounds but technically they weren't as advanced as the PC Engine.
Unfortunately, due to poor communications and lack of marketing the PC Engine only ever graced hardcore import gamer's shelves and was never much heard of again.
NEC also created a handheld of the PC Engine, known as the PC Engine GT this was at the time THE handheld to have (techinically far superior to GameBoy and Sega's Game Gear), but again was hampered by lack of marketing and only was available to die-hard gaming fans.
