get out of my way

Clear the path

Get out of my way is a command to move aside, spoken to someone blocking your path or progress.

The tone ranges from urgent to hostile depending on context: a runner might shout it on a crowded sidewalk, or it might precede a shove.

Figuratively, it warns someone not to obstruct your plans or ambitions: Get out of my way or I'll make you regret it.
