when approaching a red light at an intersection and there are already cars there thus shortening your wait time for the light to change green.

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.

Rape was one of the traditional spoils of war, so members of the invading force would either rape the women of the opposing tribe, fight the opposing tribes soldiers, or hold the light so other soldiers could see who they were attacking and raping.
Hey Ivan, don't just stand there like an idiot, these Nazis bitches aren't going to rape themselves: fuck, fight, or hold the light.
