“You try!”

Answer:

HAVE AT IT!

Hint:

["Think of a casual phrase you might say to encourage someone to start a task or dig into a meal."]

Explanation:

The phrase "You try!" is a casual way to encourage someone to give something a shot, and "HAVE AT IT!" is a lively, old-fashioned expression with the same meaning. It’s like saying "Go ahead!" or "Give it your best!"—just more enthusiastic. The exclamation mark in the answer hints at the energetic tone, matching the clue’s playful push to take action.
