Short for the whole phrase that Dutch (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) says in the movie Predator, which goes:
"RUN! GO! GET TO DA CHOPPA!"
This can many any number or things, or mean nothing at all.
Frequently it is used when something exciting is happening or will happen and they need to be going someplace. It's used when there is no need to mention where you're going, you all already know where you're going. So you just yell GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!!
Friends get in their seperate cars, about to leave school and meet up at the diner, but before leaving they roll down their windows and one yells "GET TO DA CHOPPA!!" before they all speed off.

GET TO DA CHOPPA has now come to mean that one is saying that they must attain whatever goal it is that is set forth. "getting the choppa" is teh act of succeeding in this goal and is the highest possible recognition.

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
