light him up

in paintball, or any form of gun-based combat, it is a phrase meaning "concentrate fire on that guy", or "shoot him till he screams"

"We got one behind those barrels! Light him up!"

light it up red

A slogan that supports autistic people to freely express themselves. This goes in contrast to "light it up blue" which only promotes the awareness of autism, even though almost everyone has at least heard of autism by now. "light it up red" however, promotes respect and acceptance towards autistic individuals and is a more meaningful way to promote the autistic community.

Red is the color of love, ambition, and respect. Blue is the color of disappointment and depression. Lets light it up red instead to let everyone know that the autistic community is capable of understanding and respect.

Light It Up

Slang for applying more power to the tires of a vehicle than can be transferred into forward motion, resulting in wheel slippage and tire spin. Commonly knows as a burnout or peelout; lighting it up is more commonly associated with break stands in a front wheel drive minivan.

I'm gonna light it up in front of that cop just to let him know what's up.

Wow, that minivan can really light it up when you floor it.

Did you see that 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass light it up at that intersection?
