How it's used

It is frequently used in competitive or challenging contexts, such as staying up late to drink or engaging in a long debate.

Common mistake

Avoid using it for simple, mundane activities like eating lunch or going to the store, as it sounds too heavy and formal for such routine tasks. It is better suited for activities that require endurance or shared effort.
