The chase is on

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

Bradley Walsh's iconic catchphrase that signals the start of each episode of the British game show 'The Chase,' where contestants race against time and a trivia-destroying cyborg to build up their prize fund. It's become synonymous with the beginning of competitive chaos.

Example Usage

As soon as Bradley said 'the chase is on,' the contestant got absolutely demolished by the Chaser's knowledge.
