At least once every post, I say DO SOMETHIN’! Some of you might be wondering what it means (and if I have a low brain cell count). Let me explain the origin and meaning of this phrase.
Origin:
Years ago, I was on a weekend trip to Chicago to visit some of my good friends. We went out to a club. In Chicago, it is not unusual to see an attractive young lady while out for the evening. So I saw one at the club; and my boys looked at me and they said, “DO SOMETHIN’!” Simple phrase. A bit vague but I knew exactly what they meant (go meet the young lady, etc.). For some reason, hearing them say that got me extremely hyped. I’d compare it to the increase in energy level that the Incredible Hulk must feel as he turns from normal man to green beast.
Meaning:
DO SOMETHIN’ is an invigorating expression intended to get you excited for the challenge ahead. Its applications expand beyond the realm of fitness as you can see by its origin. You can even say it to yourself and it will still get you excited and encouraged.
Now you know!
. . . you know what to say.
