1. Get a life

   "Get a life" is an an originally American idiom and catch phrase usually intended as a taunt, to indicate that the person being so addressed is devoting an inordinate amount of time to trivial or hopeless matters. The phrase has also 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 into their own home. Similar terms include "get a job", "has no life", "get a car, house, girl, etc.". It is also applied to so-called workaholics and others who are perceived as dedicated to their work but not taking the time to relax or enjoy life. Sometimes the phrase is used to describe people who are viewed as officious or meddling in the affairs of others. It is another way of saying "get your own life", or "mind your own business".

This exhortation was popularized by William Shatner on a 1987 Saturday Night Live episode in a speech that ended “Get a life!”, but it can be traced back at least to ‘Valley Girl’ slang in 1983. It was certainly in wide use among hackers for years before achieving mainstream currency via the sitcom Get A Life in 1990.
