When all else fails, when mere brute force is not enough, it is time to grit your teeth and GIVE 'ER.

GIVE 'ER can apply to anything from jamming the throttle on your big block wide-open to you and the boys putting a bit of muscle into whatever misguided task you've drunkenly committed to.

GIVE 'ER can be applied to nearly any situation where finesse is no longer a viable option.
You'll probably never get that Audi stuck in snow with those Hakkas on it, but if you really, really bottom it out on sheer ice or some s--t, I say just DROP TEH CLUTCH AND GIVE 'ER.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
