gotta go Explanation: چون ژانر slang است من فکر میکنم معادل انگلیسی باید در همان ژانر باشد A term used by people when in extremely awkward or un-wanted situations. Often said at a quick pace and often accompanied by a rolling of the eyes. It is a short response which actually has paragraphs of meaning behind it. If you have "Gotta go" said to you by someone else you have probably just made a fool of yourself. Consider jumping off the next cliff you see. Examples include, but are not limited to: Bud: "Let's hang out sometime and play Teletubbies." Jill: "Gotta go!" Person 1: "Want to come up to my room and finish Shrek!?" Person 2: "Gotta go." Person 1: (Says this to someone with a boyfriend deployed to Iraq.) "Oh my gosh, I miss my boyfriend so much. I haven't seen him in 3 hours!" Person 2: (Instead of punching person one in face) "Gotta go!" |
