Today's question comes from a student who was watching a movie.
In this movie, one character said to another, "Get
lost," so the student is asking what this expression
means in context.
Today, I'll explain this phrase and also teach you some
other informal expressions with
the word "get," such as get a grip, get off my
case, get bent out of shape, and more.
That's just a small sampling of the many colorful informal
expressions that we have in the English language using the word
"get." In order to remember these phrases better, I suggest trying
to write your own sentences with them!
