Back in the days when the law was truly an ass, a witness was strong enough to cast judgement on any poor soul they wish to pass blame. Sometimes it took knocking on peoples doors to ask 'can I get a witness', and where the idea for Jehovah Witnesses come from for knocking on peoples doors and throwing the book at them. Taking desperate measures to either clear someones name or to pass blame on to another. Can also be used for those quick marriages some like to have that same day when only set eyes on someone.
Woman: "I'm desperate, please help me to save my son....please, I beg of you."
Stranger: "ok, I see what I can do."
Woman: "thank you, thank you, praise the lord."
Stranger: "Can I get a witness?"
Random Passer-by: "Sure, I'll say he was with me all the time."

A twist on the well known scenario made popular in the early 90s by a home security system commercial in which an elderly woman falls and is unable to get up. The new television series, Hoarders, gives a whole new meaning to this ubiquitous expression. In honor of the popular series, one may say "I've fallen and I can't get up' when one is swallowed up by garbage and are unable to remove oneself from the overwhelming mass of debris that overwhelms one's home. Can also be found when one has a burning desire to pay tribute to one's pet with shrines of pet hair displayed throughout one's home.
T-dawg: bc she got like swallowed by garbage and she couldnt get up
Me: omg that gives a whole new meaning to 'i've fallen and i can''t get up!'
T-dawg: mb that's where it came from
