get a room

Cease public affection

Get a room is what you say to a couple whose public affection has become uncomfortable to witness: Okay, we get it, you're in love—get a room.

The phrase tells them to take their intimacy somewhere private.

It's usually delivered with mock disgust or teasing exasperation rather than genuine offense.
