We also have "work away" for "permission enthusiastically granted", and many other "aways" to indicate enthusiastic support for various activities. Dunno how it came about.

Tho about the enthusiasm part, I'd say it is often ironic as in this example [1] Person 1: My girlfriend dumped me. Person 2: *sigh* Fire away...

Seriously, in Ireland, which is the country I explicitly referred to, there is no ironic content in "work away". As for the self-styled Urban "Dictionary", it is a disgrace, no more a dictionary than the wretched Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Andre Jute Wordsmith
