get over it

Most people think the phrase "get over it" means to "forget

about it." If I were to forget about something in life then I would bash my head wild open with a big glass of bottle wine to erase my memory so that way I can't look back.

When we say "get over it" we are saying "Don't let the past ruin your life" or "Stop living in the past and stick with the current event."

Me: No, I meant don't let the past screw up your life.

Get Over It

The president's Chief of staff. told the Democrats to Get Over It, in the most confusing way. On the one hand, he provided significant new and clarification of old evidence of at least 2 of the most indefensible impeachable offenses. On the other hand, he seemed to be saying to America this as the new normal.

Get over it

An Eagles Song from the 1994 album "Hell Freezes Over".
Written & sung by Don Henley in response to the daytime TV trash of the time.
It became a widely used catch phrase throughout the rest of the 90's.
The 911 attacks made the song politically incorrect and it fell off radio station playlists.
"I'd like to find your inner child and kick it's little ass" was a great line from the song get over it.
