Dear all,

What is the meaning of the expression "peace it"

I looked it up in Urban Dictionary but i could get it at all.

What could it mean?

Thanks a lot.

Peace or Peace be with you, or Peace, brother (or sister) are all common expressions for greeting, but Peace It sounds new.

This seems more like an order or command - a wish for you to go on your way and make peace wherever you happen to go.

I like it!! :lol:

Thanks.

I had never heard it so I looked it up in the urban dictionary, it's true that their definition is not very helpful but I would understand it as, "to leave a difficult or dangerous situation/location".

Just saying, "Peace" would be a message to take it easy, live in peace.

Tha sounds logical, but the definition in UrbanDictionary does suggest a different meaning, as Bhaisahab says. It's something I haven't heard before.
