go get

Bring it back

Go get means to retrieve something or someone: Go get your coat, I'll go get the car.

The phrase combines movement toward a destination with the act of obtaining.

In American English, it often appears without "and" where British English might use "go and get." The imperative go get 'em encourages someone to pursue success aggressively.
