Banned for extreme overuse, but also because it reflects the frat-boy, neo-con, all-or-nothing mentality that is ruining this country. The speaker is essentially saying that winning "big" is the only point of competition, or "if at first you don't succeed, quit and get out of here, loser."
My mental response to this phrase is usually something like "I'll go with any size I choose and I'll go home when I'm damn good and ready. Shut up, idiot."
Finally, this one bugs me because it is supposed to be demonstrating a totality of commitment, but instead indicates a complete absence of nuanced thought. Such has not lead to good things in modern America.
