get along

Be on terms

Get along means to have a harmonious relationship: The siblings get along well, I've never gotten along with my boss.

It also means to manage or cope adequately: How are you getting along without a car?

To tell someone to get along is to urge them to leave or continue on their way—a gentler form of dismissal.
