Say the word: Used to tell someone that you will do what they want at the time they ask you; To give an order, If someone says the word, they give their approval as a sign that something should start to happen.

中文释义：Say the word有吩咐一下、说一声或者发布命令的意思。常用在口语中表示随时准备提供帮助或做某事，只要说一声就行，有点讲义气的意味。比如：Just say the word, and I'll come and help.（你只要说一声，我就会来帮忙）。还表示发布命令，相当于体育运动的发令枪，是一个启动信号。比如：When I say the word, follow me down.（我一下令，就跟随着我做。）
