A versatile phrase that covers two energies: letting loose and going wild in a general sense, or more specifically, getting intimate with someone. Context does all the heavy lifting — on the dancefloor it means going all out, in a more private setting it carries obvious sexual meaning. The phrase hit its peak in the late 1990s and early 2000s but never fully left, carried by party culture and hip-hop. If someone tells you to get your freak on, read the room.
The DJ dropped the bassline and everyone just started to get their freak on like there was no tomorrow.
