Was this introduced in the quoted Alan Partridge TV episode? I've never heard it except in reference to him. Equinox 13:07, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

It’s a fairly widely used and heard expression. I’m not sure if it predates 2002 but I’ve always mentally associated it with the phrase ‘Get in!’ as both phrases mean the same thing and seem to have the same origin (ie footie/soccer). I could easily be wide of the mark about that though Overlordnat1 (talk) 01:14, 9 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
