British informal expression used as a dismissal — telling someone to go away, to leave, to keep moving. Also used as an encouragement to continue with something. As a dismissal it can be mildly aggressive or good-humoured depending on context. Became widely known in the UK after its use in the TV series Gavin and Stacey.
She had heard enough of his complaints and told him to jog on.
"jog on" means british informal expression used as a dismissal — telling someone to go away, to leave, to keep moving. It is one of many casual words teens pick up from friends, social media, music or sport, and on its own it carries no particular warning. If you hear your teen use it, it is fair to ask what they mean by it in their friend group, since meanings drift quickly. Asking out of curiosity rather than alarm tends to keep the conversation open and useful.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
