How do you say "Git-R-Done" is Spanish?

Question

Larry the cable guy

Answer 1

In answer to Heidi's question, it is not dirty or sexual at all, but a saying by a very "Southern" comedian, whose stage name is "Larry the Cable Guy". Down home, Southern humor. It just means, "Do it!" "Get it taken care of!" "Quit your gripin' and take care of business!"

Here is a really short YouTube clip, with him saying it, it makes even less sense when you hear him:

Larry the Cable Guy

lol. Yes, you're right. This is definitely something that's lost in translation. - babs_irish, May 23, 2011

Answer 2

Bob, it's generally a mistake to try to create a literal translation of idiomatic expressions or sayings associated with one television character. It might be better to do a two-step translation. Translate the expression into some standard English sentence and then translate that into Spanish. Even then, the essence is lost.

Unless you're a translator for the United Nations or something, it isn't necessary to translate every word in every sentence literally. And it could be dangerous! Remember Jimmy Walker's "Dy-no-mite!" on Good Times? Well, you certainly could translate "dynamite," but a Spanish-speaking listener would be very confused. (Note that Heidita is already shaking her head in confusion on this one.)

Agreed, it's too weird and regional to translate. Most people in other parts of the U.S. don't know what this is. - amykay, May 23, 2011

Answer 3

¡Al trabajar! might work for this.

Answer 4

Hi, this guy is really something else, really difficult to understand

So what does this mean?

Get her done = do it - lorenzo9, May 23, 2011

but why her??? is that supposed to have a sexual meaning?? :::omg::: jeje - 00494d19, May 23, 2011

No, it is not sexual--however "do her" is. Using her for it exists in some old expressions. - lorenzo9, May 23, 2011

The "her" in this slangy expression is the task or the job. Get her (the task) done. - babs_irish, May 23, 2011

There's a sense of urgency to this...like stop wasting time and get this job done...and be quick about it. - webdunce, May 23, 2011

Ships take a feminine pronoun in English. - Sabor, May 23, 2011

Global warming started soon after they started naming storms after men. - lorenzo9, May 23, 2011

Mi reina, es precisamente como dice Lorenzo pues es simplemente una manera de hablar con una hueva que se usa la gente media naca - 005faa61, May 23, 2011
