Hey everyone!

I have an English slang phrase for you today

!

The phrase is “hit the road” this is something you may hear English speakers in the United States say and it simply means “leaving” for example:

Sarah: Hey Ben when are you leaving ?
Ben: I’m going to hit the road at about 4:30.
This means Ben plans to leave at 4:30.

As always please throw a like or comment below if you found this helpful! Thanks guys!

@Stranger you could tell someone to hit the road - and if you said it in a mean tone it could be taken that way. However it’s not as commonly used negatively.

I have read that the phrase "hit the road" is a rude variant of the phrase "get out of here". Is it true?
