Meaning: we’re going to party heavily. Use examples.
Rewrite 1: we’re going to put the party-hounds to shame tonight
Rewrite 2: we’re going to make a lot of party noise tonight
Rewrite 3: nobody parties like we do, and we’re going to set new standards tonight
Rewrite 4: we aren’t just going to tie one on tonight, we’re going to tie it into knots!
Comment: Rewrite 4 is a play on the original, which is permissible in our endeavor.
