Get something moving, step ahead and keep going

Etymology:

  • Many years ago, laymen had no proper means of transport that could take them to distant places; so they had things in the form of travelling shows touring from one place to another. These shows include Circuses, fairs, Carnivals, boat shows and acting shows to be staged on road for people. At the time of travel, the organizer would call “let’s get this show on the road” which meant to hurry up and pack up as they had to move to another place. Today for anyone you want to hurry up, you can say “get this show on the road”.
