Get outta here
Significado: An exclamation of disbelief or amazement — equivalent to 'no way!' or 'you're kidding!'
While it can literally mean 'leave,' the more common NYC usage of 'get outta here!' is as an expression of disbelief. 'You won the lottery? Get outta here!' It's typically said with a wave of the hand and a tone of delighted shock. The pronunciation drops to 'gedouttahere' in fast NYC speech.
