get it on

Become physically intimate

Get it on is a phrasal verb with two main senses.

The first, and probably older, means to engage in sexual activity: We were about to get it on when her roommate walked in.

The second means to start doing something with energy and enthusiasm, often fighting or competing: The two rivals finally got it on in the championship match.

Both senses share an underlying idea of intense physical engagement.
