Why do Hollywood films use this phrase so often.
Does any one have copyright on this phrase. Doesnt anyone find it annoying?
You kidding me …appears to be catching up soon too.
(In before the move to Cafe Society.)
Well, there are a finite numbers of non-stilted ways to make a suggestion to someone that you leave–especially if you are under duress. “Perchance, let us vacate this domicile!” just doesn’t have the ring of verisimilitude.
One I’m fed up with: “Can I ask you something?” (You just did.)
I say “I’m gonna blow this joint” or “I’m gonna blow this pop stand.”
You’d probably find that a lot more annoying.

You didn’t ask, first. You didn’t even ask to ask. 
What’s wrong with “Let’s get outta here”? I use it all the time. I find myself at a lot of heres at rather be outta.

Don’t forget my favorite overused phrase, uttered by one of the bad guys, in the driver’s seat, to the other bad guy in the passenger seat, while glancing in the rear-view mirror:
“We’ve got company.”
I remember an old trivia book which claimed that “Let’s get out of here” was the most common phrase heard in films. There were no cites or supporting evidence provided, but somehow the truth of the claim was self-evident.
Whoosh!
Yeah, me too.
Besides, what are the alternatives? How else would you announce you desire to leave?
Shakespeare used “Let us away” rather a lot.
Richard III.
“They, for their truth, might better wear their heads
Than some that have accused them wear their hats.
But come, my lord, let us away.”
And many others
In the US, you can’t copyright a short phrase such as this. So even “Hasta la vista, baby.” is copyright-free.
