Git-R-Done

I miss the South. I do. Growing up in Virginia was overall a great experience for me. That's why I find recent reports from home about the "Git-R-Done" phenomenon so disturbing. Evidently, "Git-R-Done" is Larry the Cable Guy's catchphrase. It's become so popular, Git-R-Done bumper stickers have begun to rival the "support the troops" magnets. Of course, they generally are found next to the obligatory Dubya stickers. The phrase is often used in reference to the Iraq war, as in we vowed to stay the course so let's Git-R-Done, but can be used in a variety of situations:

Jessie Lou sure is purty. I'm fixin' to get up on that and git-r-done.

I'm fresh out of Skoal Bandits. I'm gonna take the truck down to 7-11 and git-r-done.

A friend from home had this to say:

"I doubt you have the "Git-R-Done" phenomenon in New York, but it's the rage down here. Larry the Cable guy (who played the Roanoke Civic Center recently) apparently spawned this expression, and you hear it everywhere (lotsa stickers too). My daughter hears her classmates say it, and I heard two men at the public library use it as a farewell the other day. Then the whole thing entered a new arena when I saw a woman at the Target last Thursday night with a 'Jesus Got-R-Done' T-shirt."

'Jesus Got-R-Done'? Using that phrase has got to be breaking some biblical commandment. We don't expect the phrase will be making its way to New York any time soon.

Yeah the awful truth, you r rite!

I HATE GIT R DONE! THE BOYS AT MY SCHOOL SAY IT ALL THE TIME AND IT REALLY GETS ON MY NERVES. AND FOR ALL YOU ADULTS WHO SAY "GIT R DONE" DON'T YOU REALIZE HOW JUVINILE THAT SOUNDS? I HATE GIT R DONE!

the phrase git -R- done has been in new york

-

Don't deny it! You know you're gay...

Just so you all know, I am the guy in the picture with the GIT-R-DONE shirt on. I do not appreciate having my tongue affiliated with the gay community. I AM A STRAIGHT MALE! I must say alot of women do like the tongue, and that is all I have to say!

'reports from home'. haaahaaa!

you faux real!

that man is repulsive.

I HATE GIT R DONE
I just recently moved to Brooklyn from Ohio. That god awful quip was a strong motivater behind the move. that and nascar.

here in Canada they say "Give'r".

I live smack in the center of the Carolinas where the phrase will live as long as the mullets wave in the wind, plastered on assorted shoddy merchandise bought at roadside Stuckeys. I was in Berlin recently and was tickled to spread the virus overseas by teaching a German friend who struggled with the accent. New York, git ready to Git-R-Done!!!

Ahhh that guy's tongue looks like a gay pride symbol... pink and triangular and whatnot. Also, nice BUM shirt. 1992 was a great year for shitty retail brands.
