verb. To hear the order or rule. Almost always used sarcastically, and not in an environment where memoranda are usually written.
Apparently Bob didn't get the memo that you shouldn't do keg stands at a wedding.
Didn't she get the memo? I'm a guy -- I'm not supposed to feel emotionally vulnerable.

An utterly horrible phrase commonly used by television/radio broadcasters age 35 or greater. When a player subs out of the game, the naive analyst will eagerly explain to his audience that the athlete "is getting a blow" or "taking a blow" on the sidelines.
This is a terrible phrase because it is misleading everyone subjected to listening to the announcers and/or watching the game. While the athlete is not actually getting a blow-job from someone on the sidelines, thereby making the game interesting, he is merely getting a rest.

An annoying and meaningless but for some unknown reason widely used expression in sports journalism and commentary. A likely corruption of the much more sensible 'get on track', referring to an athlete or team playing better after a period of subpar performance.
Joe Theismann: 'On the other side of the ball, who would have thought we'd be wondering when the Colts' struggling offense will get untracked?'
Reader: 'WTF does that even mean, Joe?'
