[Vocabulary] Let's hit the road!

[constantinusphilo]

Are there any synonyms for 'let's hit the road!"?

 

[probus]

There are many synonyms. For example:

Depart.
Leave.
Take the road.
Start the journey.
Begin the trip.
Go away.

Those are all more formal than hit the road, which is slang. Also slangy:

Buzz off.

Scram. (Old-fashioned).

Take off (mainly a Canadianism I think.)

 

[tedmc]

Let's go.
Off we go.

 

[constantinusphilo]

Can I use 'let's set out!' as a synonym? Also, I remember that in King Solomon's Mines by Rider Haggard one of the characters used to say "Now, the Track!" in the same meaning. Is the latter common?

 

[probus]

I'd be quite baffled if I encountered "Now, the Track." Keep in mind that Haggard wrote in the 1800s and that the novel is set in Africa.

 

[Tdol]

Let's split.
