Hello, I answered as "All right you win. I promise I won't bring it on again. Why don't just we go white water rafting instead?" I have heard in movies people say, "Bring it on". What is the difference between "bring it on" and "bring it up". With Regards, Santak |

Hi,
'Bring it on' is an expression that can be used to encourage someone to do something. It's similar to an expression like: Go ahead and do it! 'Bring something up' is a phrasal verb and suggests 'mention' or 'introduce a topic in conversation'.

---------------- When we say, "You should bring him up in a good social background", don't we also mean 'rear', 'nurture' etc, Alan? _________________ Anglophile |

Yes, that's right. You can find other phrasal verbs using 'bring' shown in the piece I've written for site under the heading ' bring'.
