@aerib those phrases only refer to topics.
cant "get on with it" refer to actions?
eg-
A- I'm not in the mood to do the dishes right now mom...
B- mood my ass! get on with it!(to mean- "do the dishes already")

@aerib thanks!
but i got a little mixed up with these two-
1. get on with it
2. get a move on
can you explain the difference to me?

Get a move on is more of a hurry up while get on with it is more of a proceeding to do something after a delay or distraction or get to the point as I stated earlier. (If that’s makes any sense)

@Peppeper Of course. :) So get a move on is telling someone or something to speed up/hurry up what they are doing, while get on with it is telling someone to do something after they stated they didn’t want to or started to do what they were told but stopped in the process of the action. It also can mean get to the point of what they are talking about.
Get a move on: “Sally, we have to get in the car now! Get a move on!”
Get on with it: “I know you don’t want to do the dishes but quit being so lazy and get on with it!”
or
“Don’t tell the entire story, get on with it!”

@aerib is it unnatural to say "get on with it" when there was no pause/delay?
eg-
(a guy checks his phone and realizes that he and his friend are late for their flight to Paris)
- Oh no, we are gonna miss the flight, (get a move on dude!/get on with it dude!)
in that scenario, get on with it sounds awkward bc it is used when someone is dilly-dallying/hesitating.
am i off with this??

@Peppeper I think get a move on would be a better suit for this type of situation. While get on with it isn’t totally unnatural without a delay, get a move on is a better word choice.
