даёшь

[Alina L. Israeli]

No, because there must be an object of даёшь: даешь победу, даешь медали. But register-wise it’s below “Go Navy” or “Forza Italia”. 

Incidentally, at hockey games they chant “Шай-бу, шай-бу”, nothing with даёшь. It should enter as part of curriculum on Accusative case.

Даёшь is very much of an industrial and military slogan. “Даешь Перекоп!” Даешь Магнитку!”
