How it's used
This is a blunt and aggressive idiom used to demand that someone stop hesitating or making excuses and state their purpose immediately. Because it contains a reference to flatulence, it is considered rude and should only be used with people you know very well or when you are genuinely frustrated by someone's lack of directness. It is essentially a way of telling someone to stop wasting your time.
Examples
Just say what you need to say, don't beat around the bush.
Common phrases
get on with it
Common mistake
Do not use this in formal or professional settings, as it is highly informal and potentially offensive. It is strictly for casual, heated, or impatient exchanges between peers.
