get with

Start to understand

Get with means to join, align yourself with, or become involved in something.

If you get with the program, you start cooperating or following along with what others expect.

To get with someone can mean to meet up with them, but more commonly it's slang for becoming romantically or sexually involved: I heard she got with him at the party.

The phrase often carries an undertone of urging someone to catch up or participate.
