A brazen disregard for possible danger. Derived from a line by Robert Duvall’s character, Lt. Colonel Kilgore in “Apocalypse Now” in response to a soldier’s assertion that an area that he wants to surf is “Charlie’s point” He screams defiantly “CHARLIE DON’T SURF!” A more thought provoking way of saying “fuck that!” or “I’m not worried”

Charlie is slang for the North Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War. In the movie Apocolypse Now, Sgt. Kilgore says this to some of his soldiers when they hesitate to surf in a certain area referred to as Charlie's Point. 'Charlie don't surf!' is his way of saying to screw the enemy and go in there anyway. Be fearless.

"Look at that handrail! But there's a padlock on the fence and a 'beware of the dogs' sign... Charlie Don't Surf!"
