Word: go ham Part of Speech: verb Etymology: Uncertain; the earliest use of the term in the idiomatic sense appears to be in the 2007 song "Go Ham on 'Em" by Soulja Boy (see quotation below), although isolated usage goes back earlier. "Ham" is often thought to be an acronym of "hard as a motherfucker" (with go ham then parsing as go hard as a motherfucker), although this may be a backronym. Alternatively, it could be a phonetic clipping of mayhem. The term was popularized by the 2011 song "H.A.M." by Jay-Z and Kanye West. The fact that go the whole hog and go ham have senses that are synonymous at least raises the question of whether the pig-portions connection is wholly coincidental or not. Pronunciation: /ɡoʊ ˈhæm/ 1. To enter an enraged and uncontrollable state; to go berserk. Labels: intransitive, often, slang, with-on Example: If you use her fabric scissors, she's going to go ham on you. Example: Go ham on em Soulja, go ham on 'em 2. To do something with the maximum possible effort; to go all out. Labels: intransitive, often, slang, with-on Example: My costume last Halloween was pretty lame, but this time I'm really going to go ham.

I'm the whole works, and you know it. I'm just carrying you. Example: One of the best reasons to go ham is the quiet hi-fi sound of radios used in the two-meter ham band.
