keep it coming
keep on fighting


Explanation:
as a provocation, to someone who is arguing (or otherwise in conflict), to keep up their efforts or actions.

neutral  B D Finch: Not the usual meaning or context.
1 hr
  -> Commonly used, even if not the only meaning. (And as the asker asked for "colloquial context" this quite possibily be appropriate for his context.)
agree  John Fenz: absolutely, as one alternative, if not the most common usage. Something Mike Tyson might say to someone he was fighting, or what Bush meant when he challenged the "terrorists" to "bring it on."
