This term may possbily merit an entry as an idiom or as a colloquialism. I dispute the "definition". The interjection is a use of an ordinary phrase. There are numerous usages of "Get on up" as an imperative, in combination with "yonder" or other adverbs and in longer sentences. DCDuring 18:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
The possibility that the imperative is directed to a man's penis does not change the meaning. DCDuring 19:59, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
