get one's butt somewhere
Physically arrive somewhere
To get one's butt somewhere is to go there, usually with urgency or obligation.
The phrasing implies the person should already be moving: Get your butt over here right now, I need to get my butt to the gym.
The construction works with other body parts—*ass* being the vulgar alternative, *self* the polite one.
