to be at it
Hello,
What do you think of "We love Supernatural, now we're at it"? Does it sound fine? I think that the phrase "to be at it" means that the speaker enjoys doing something that a lot of people/some people disapprove of. I can't say that I hear the phrase every day, but that's what Macmillan Dictionary says. Am I on the right track or not?
