Let's get this over with...

Hey guys, here's a quick lesson for the weekend. Have you heard this expression before?

get (something) over with

This is a set phrase people use when they have to do something but DON'T want to do it. In that situation it is better to get it over with and finish it as quickly as possible.

Ugh, dinner with my in-laws? Ok, let's get this over with...

Alright, neither of us wants to be here. The faster we start the faster we finish. Let's get it over with as quickly as possible so we can both go home.

I wish my results would arrive! I want to get all this waiting over with!

Have a nice weekend,

Phil
