    Or just " 'Out the way" simply.
    We've all been told this at one time or another. Do you know anyone who uses this catchphrase? Have you ever caused to use it?
    Do they have much street cred?

    Sounds a bit discourteous.

    I knew a lad who’d say “hup!” and “hup, ya bollocks!” whenever he wanted someone to get out of his way.

    I wouldn’t have called it a “catchphrase”. Now, he’d also pronounce the word against as ‘agin’. So, you know.

    Personally I still favour the use of prepositions, so I'd be inclined to shout "get out of the way". However I'd be even more inclined to politely say "excuse me" because I'm not an ignorant bollix.

    I'd always ask a person to excuse me. But MOVE is the word most commonly used were I work. And its use for different things. If your in somebodys way, or sitting in somebodys seat etc.
