Baby, you can describe my trope any day. Seriously though, the standard form of a semi-cliché pickup line/Double Entendre.

Related to If You Know What I Mean and Is That What They're Calling It Now?. Compare its more annoyed cousin, I Will Show You X. Completely unrelated to Luke Nounverber, even though Luke may very well verb nouns from sunrise to sunset. Likewise unrelated to Noun Verber.

Examples of You Can Verb My Noun Any Day include:

Anime & Manga

Used from Brock in an episode of the Pokémon dub about the Pokémon Tech leader..."She can violate my rights any time."

Used by a British teen about an American girl in What a Girl Wants: "I'd let her dump tea in my harbor any day."

Live-Action TV

Special Ops Force: The heroes are posing as firefighters, and a guy says to Margot, "You can light my fire any time."

Video Games

Quest for Glory V has a rather odd female Gnome who runs the inn and makes some...strange comments about the male hero. In the Quest For Glory universe, it's a rule that Gnomes always speak in Incredibly Lame Puns.

Gnome Anne: Heellllo, sailor. My, fancy you sailing into my port! You can shiver my timbers any day. I'm Anne, Gnome Anne, and this is my Land Inn. Set anchor, dreamboat, and let me batten your hatches!

Two mooks discussing Dr. Penelope Young in Batman: Arkham Asylum use "She can operate on me anytime!"

Web Comics

The last panel of this comic.
Black Mage to White Mage in Eight Bit Theater.
