Definition: To have a wild time; to enjoy oneself immensely.
Etymology: The origin of this phrase is unclear. Some scholars trace it back to ancient Rome, where soldiers would celebrate a victory by painting the walls of a town with blood from its defeated soldiers. Other scholars believe the phrase comes from the American frontier, where 'paint' referred to liquor and 'red' referred to pleasurable but illegal activities.
