It's a movie cliche. The original saying (to the coach driver) was supposedly "Home, James, and don't spare the horses!" (The movie one allegedly goes, "Once around the park and home, James"--said to the chauffeur.)
Dates from the mid-1800s; there was also a 1934 song with the same phrase as a title: "Home, James, and don't spare the horses" by Fred Hillebrand.

The British show "Inspector Lewis" (or just "Lewis") references this saying. DI Robbie Lewis had just met DS James Hathaway, who has come to pick him up from the airport; as they prepare to leave, Lewis says, "'Home, James!' I've always wanted to say that." (The comma should be there; it's "Home, James," not "Home James".)
Lewis says it again at the end of the first episode of the third season. As he and DS Hathaway are preparing to leave, with Hathaway driving, he says, "Home, James!"

Get the Honey jar mug.A hoey joey is a hoe. He is somebody who loves clowns, and loves a good time. If those two things are together...its even better. They are very perverted and constantly saying "thats what she said" or "your mom" to everything, no matter how much sense it makes or if he was even being talked to. And lastly, his favorite number of all time is 69. He would 69 every second of the day if somebody let him.

Get the hoey joey mug.Widely practiced in Turkey-When a combination of bodily fluids (urine, semen, saliva, blood, mucus, tears, pus, and feces) is mixed in a honey jar, only to be dumped in a partners anus or mouth during intercourse, only to be violently shook around inside the mouth or anus, then spat back onto the partner.(does not have the same effect with gay sex due to gay sex being not okay), (works fine with lesbian sex though)
“Son, why does your breath smell so foul?” “Shit got wild last night and I decided to give my girlfriend the Turkish Honey Jar, Mom!”
