[Lexicog] anagrams (was: lexical phrase)

[Fritz Goerling]

If you arrange the letters of the Rolling Stones song "I can't get no
satisfaction", you git

"'cos a stone (a git) can't fit in" (David Bourke 2000). Clever, eh?

That end of my vocabulary is standard South Carolina issue.  (Is "standard
issue" in the dictionary?)

 (I can't think of a declarative sentence using 'get' in the sense 'leave a
place'. I have to use the phrasal verbs 'get out' or 'get away'.) 'Go away!'
and 'Get out of here!' can possibly be interpreted as literal. 'Beat it!' is
a more clear example of an idiom. But all of these expressions have
something in common-they are the normal ways in which someone tells someone
to leave (especially when one is angry). I don't think any of them is
predictable (at least for an outsider).
