big on (something)
Very interested or invested in something. My sister loves going to clubs because she's really big on dancing. My family is big on education, so I know I'm going to college next year. I like for a vacation to feel like a vacation, you know? No daily excursions for me—I'm big on lounging by the pool and getting massages and all that good stuff.
