get up outta that
Affectionate Irish 'no way!' / 'stop messing'.
Definitions
Expression of friendly disbelief — 'no way!', 'you're joking!', 'go on outta that'. Used when someone tells you something surprising, gives you a compliment you want to deflect, or says something a bit cheeky. Warm, not aggressive — closer to playful dismissal than a real telling-off.
A literal instruction to physically move — get out of that chair, that bed, that spot. Tone tells you which sense is in play; if there's a smile, it's disbelief, if there's a parent involved at 8am, it's the literal one.
