Where does the phrase "Git-R-Dun" ("Get-R-Done") come from? It is being used casually and more frequently. Recently, my friends and I started to debate the origin; specifically, whether 'R' refers to 'her' and, if so, whether 'her' refers to a woman or an "effeminate" object (e.g. sailboat, car, ...). Does the phrase refer to women as sex objects or is it simply a fun phrase synonymous with 'get it done'? My friends and I agree that it comes from a "Redneck" TV show, but we don't agree on the meaning of the phrase. |

The phrase has come to be associated with "Larry the Cable Guy," but he didn't invent it. http://www.larrythecableguy.com I am a native of Oklahoma, and I've heard "git 'er done" and variants of the phrase ever since I was a youngster. In my neck of the woods, it just means "get the job done." Referring to a task in the feminine gender isn't uncommon among us Okies and our Arkie brethren (and sistren). When I was a kid in the '50s, I remember watching some men building a fence in my neighborhood. Just about every portion of the job was referred to as if it were a woman. "Come on, hold 'er straight and I'll nail 'er down" may sound sexual, but it was just everyday job talk. |
