How it's used
This expression humorously exaggerates the common gesture of raising a hand to vote or show agreement. By adding the feet into the mix, it emphasizes a level of enthusiasm or total support that goes beyond a simple nod or hand raise. It is strictly informal and used to show strong, wholehearted endorsement of a suggestion or idea.
Examples
You say you want to go on a trip? I'm absolutely all for it!
Everyone is completely in agreement with this plan.
