How it's used

Originally a military term for moving from one battlefield to another, this word is now frequently used in casual social contexts to describe moving a group of people from one venue to another. It carries a sense of momentum and ongoing activity, implying that the party or event is not over, just relocating. It is common to hear it used when transitioning from dinner to drinks or from a bar to a club.

Common mistake

Do not use this word for simple, solitary movement like going home or going to work. It specifically implies a group activity where the participants are continuing their collective engagement in a new location.
