Get the going bowlingmug. A term used by people when in extremely awkward or un-wanted situations. Often said at a quick pace and often accompanied by a rolling of the eyes. It is a short response which actually has paragraphs of meaning behind it. If you have "Gotta go" said to you by someone else you have probably just made a fool of yourself. Consider jumping off the next cliff you see.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
Bud: "Let's hang out sometime and play Teletubbies."
Jill: "Gotta go!"
Person 1: "Want to come up to my room and finish Shrek!?"
Person 2: "Gotta go."
Person 1: (Says this to someone with a boyfriend deployed to Iraq.) "Oh my gosh, I miss my boyfriend so much. I haven't seen him in 3 hours!"
Person 2: (Instead of punching person one in face) "Gotta go!"
