Hurry up · Move faster
Ever find yourself running late or needing someone to speed things up a bit? 🏃💨 'Shake a leg!' is your go-to phrase! It's a friendly, yet firm, way to tell someone to hurry up without being too harsh. Imagine your friend still looking for their keys when your Uber is already outside! 🔑🚕
💡 **Heads up!** While 'Shake a leg!' is generally informal and light-hearted, it's best reserved for friends, family, or people you're comfortable with. Probably not the best phrase to use with your boss during a high-stakes meeting! 😅 Keep it casual! This idiom comes from sailing, where sailors were ordered to 'shake a leg' to get up and out of their hammocks quickly! ⚓️
Your friend is taking too long to get ready, and you're about to miss your movie. Which English expression would you use? A. Take it easy! B. Shake a leg! C. Go with the flow!
