What it means
A hype shout for going all in. You say send it when someone should stop hovering, quit babying the moment, and just commit properly. It came out of action sports for big, fully committed attempts, but now it works for anything from dropping into a line to firing off a risky text and living with the chaos.
Usage examples
"Coach said stop overthinking the penalty and just send it, so I closed my eyes and smashed it top corner."
"You have been staring at that text for an hour, just send it and see what she says."
"He stood at the top of the run for half a second, then someone yelled send it and off he went."
"We'd been pacing around the cliff jump for ten minutes and then Jess went, ah stuff it, send it."
"If you're gonna apply for the dream job, send it. Worst they can do is bin your email."

Where it comes from
It came out of action sports, especially snowboarding, skiing, and motocross, where riders would yell send it for a fully committed jump, drop, or line. By the 2010s it had busted out into wider North American slang, and now people use it for any go-for-it move where hesitation needs to get in the bin.
