Whatever you say in the email, I hope you use better grammar and spelling than in your post. Oh, but it's going to a fraternity brother, right? Nevermind, he wouldn't notice anyway.

When you throw down on some pizza it means you pitch some cash.

If you like fighting, then yes it would mean having fun.

I'm pretty sure it's older than that.

Could be. Maybe it just "busted out" during the hip-hop craze then.

It was probably a gang term for the seventies or something, and got revived like so much else. No clue though.

To "throw down the gauntlet," as I'm sure you know, means to challenge someone else to a fight, and our modern use of the phrase is essentially identical to its original meaning. The "gauntlet" in the phrase is the heavy glove once worn by knights in armor (and comes from a diminutive form of "gant," French for "glove"). A knight who threw his gauntlet down before another was issuing a formal challenge to duel, which his opponent then accepted by picking up the gauntlet. While formal duels are now a thing of the past (people seem to pretty much just up and shoot each other these days), "throwing down the gauntlet" lives on in more metaphorically combative contexts, such as courtrooms and proxy fights.

So in it's shortened form, it's the same thing.

C'mon, that's a stretch. Don't act so innocent. Everyone knows how "throwin' down" is meant to be taken.
