Right out of the get-go

Posted: March 14, 2019 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |Leave a comment

This was heard on a podcast.  It is a nice congruent conflation of “from the get-go” and “right out of the gate” (immediately, right from the start).  Lots of alliteration in this one, contibuting to the mashup.  This is not a malaphor in Pittsburgh, however.  It means “just finished getting gas”.  A big thanks to Vicki Ameel-Kovacs for hearing this one!
