We have a great language. There are so many ways to say “lets leave” that the mind boggles. So instead of saying “time to go”, which lacks a certain amount of creative flair, here are some alternatives.

A much longer list is of course available. Some of the one liners there are not fit for civilised company though. I never did claim to be original.

• Make like Donald and duck
• Make like a tree and leaf
• Make like a road and fork off
• Make like a banana and split
• Make like a missile and cruise
• Make like a drum and beat it
• Make like stockings and run
• Make like lightning and bolt
• Make like a plane and take off
• Hotel Alpha
