Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker suggests that at times the sensible move is to stop worrying and throw caution aside with a blunt exclamation. Life occasionally calls for a reckless shrug, letting go of hesitation and acting on impulse. The line is casual, profane and cheerfully permissive.
