  1. Great question Lisa!
    "Hit the road" = leave

    Ex: Hey Mike, this party is boring, let's "hit the road."

    You usually say "hit the road" when you want to leave a place soon or immediately.

    If any other students have tips about using the phrase "Hit the road" please post them here.

  2. I usually say "Let's hit the road."
    When I'm talking with my friends that are the same age. But I don't use it much when I'm with older people.

  3. You're saying "hit the road" means leave.I wanna know if it means "having a journey" too?

  4. "Hit the road" can also be used if you are going on a journey or road trip. (Road trip means a journey by automobile.)

    So basically, "hit the road" can be used almost anytime you want to leave, and usually leave quickly.

    Another alternative is to say "take off."
    ex:
    1. "This party is boring, let's take off."
    2. "What time are you taking off for your road trip tomorrow?"
