(US, slang, dated) To get going; to go away.
Dated American slang meaning to get moving, clear out, or make yourself scarce — essentially a colourful way of telling someone (or yourself) to hit the road. The phrase conjures the image of setting wheels in motion, whether you're talking about leaving a place, starting a journey, or simply getting on with things. While the expression has largely fallen out of everyday use, it still pops up in period fiction and Westerns to flavour a scene with authentic old-school American vernacular.
