Get a life
"Get a life" is an originally
American idiom and
catch phrase usually intended as a
taunt. The phrase appeared as a generally more emphatic variant of the taunt "get a job" and implies the addressee needs to go out and make their way in the world, without being supported by outside sources such as
parents or
benefactors. It may also be directed at someone who is perceived as boring or single-minded; suggesting they acquire some other, more practical interests or
hobbies and get
dates, find a
job, or move to their own
house.

Get a life!
<
abuse> Standard way of suggesting that someone has succumbed to terminal
geekdom. Often heard on
Usenet, especially as a way of suggesting that the target is taking some obscure issue of
theology too seriously. This exhortation was popularised by William Shatner on a "Saturday Night Live" episode in a speech that ended "Get a *life*!", but some respondents believe it to have been in use before then. It was certainly in wide use among hackers for at least five years before achieving mainstream currency in early 1992.
