Soviet slogan "Dayosh!"

[william ryan]

Steve Marder's excellent Supplementary Russian-English Dictionary has 
the word (s.v. davat', 8.) with the translation "forward to, onward to" 
with the same Soviet slogan as an example "Даёшь досрочное выполнение 
плана!". Its always worth checking there when other dictionaries fail.
