getting out

Departing a place

Getting out is the act of leaving or exiting—a place, a situation, or a commitment.

You get out of a car, get out of a relationship, or get out of doing something you'd rather avoid.

I'm getting out of here suggests urgency or relief.

There's no getting out of it means escape is impossible.

In imperatives, get out! is a command to leave, while get out! as an exclamation expresses disbelief: You got the job? Get out!
