Contexto cultural
The phrase gained massive popularity as an expression of disbelief through 1990s American sitcoms. It captures a specific 'city' energy where people are blunt but friendly. In modern times, it is also the title of a famous social-thriller movie, adding a layer of 'escaping a trap' to its cultural meaning.
The 'Of' Rule
Always add 'of' if you name the place. Say 'Get out of the car' but just 'Get out!' if you aren't naming the car.
Don't use for Buses
English is weird! You 'get out' of cars, but you 'get off' buses, trains, and planes. Using 'get out' for a bus sounds like you are escaping a cage.

What It Means
At its heart, get out is about movement. You use it when you leave a room, a car, or a building. It's simple and direct. However, English speakers also use it to show shock. If a friend tells you they won the lottery, you might shout get out! because you can't believe it. It's like saying 'no way!' in a fun, surprised tone.
How To Use It
You can use it as a command or a description. If you are in a taxi, you get out when you arrive. If you want to tell a story, you say 'I need to get out more.' This means you want to socialize. Remember to use of if you mention the place. For example: get out of the house. Without a place, just use the two words alone.
When To Use It
Use it when you are exiting a vehicle like a car or van. It is perfect for casual plans with friends. Use it when you feel stuck inside and need fresh air. It is also great for reacting to juicy gossip. If someone tells you a secret, a quick get out! shows you are listening and amazed. It keeps the conversation lively and energetic.
When NOT To Use It
Be careful with your tone. If you say it loudly and sharply, it is a very rude command. Don't say it to your boss unless they are joking with you. Avoid using it for large public transport like planes or trains. For those, you usually say get off. Saying get out of a plane sounds like you are jumping out mid-flight! That would be a very bad day.
Cultural Background
In American pop culture, get out became a huge meme for disbelief. Think of the 90s sitcom 'Seinfeld' where Elaine pushes people while saying it. It represents a mix of shock and excitement. Recently, it gained a darker tone due to the famous horror movie of the same name. Now, it can sometimes imply a warning to leave a bad situation quickly. It is a very versatile piece of English.
