Hello and welcome back to Daily English, Today’s phrase is: “leg it.”
Say it with me: leg it. Let’s see if you can figure it out from these clues:
Two teenagers are hanging around a train station when they see a guard coming their way. One of them whispers, “Quick! Leg it!” — and they both take off running.
Someone accidentally knocks over a display in a shop, sees the owner looking furious, and yells to their friend, “Let’s leg it before she catches us!”
So what does “leg it” mean?To “leg it” means to run away quickly, especially because you’re scared, in trouble, or just in a hurry.
It’s a fun, informal British phrase that makes it sound like you’re relying totally on your legs to escape — no car, no bike, just good old-fashioned running!
Examples: When we heard the fire alarm, we legged it out of the building in record time.
The kids legged it when they saw the security guard coming toward them.
She legged it to the bus stop but missed it by just a few seconds.
