get out of town
Leave this place
Get out of town is an exclamation of disbelief or amazement, equivalent to "no way" or "you're kidding": You got the job? Get out of town!
The phrase plays on the literal command to leave, but the figurative sense expresses that news is so surprising it seems impossible.
It's casual and often enthusiastic rather than skeptical.
