Who taught: PetSmart and Jessy

Step on it (source: http://labelle-et-lebadboy.blogspot.com/)

There is one expression that I would not say to Jessy. That is “Step on it.” But, I might use this to some cab drivers when they drive too slowly. Well, it wouldn’t be the case in New York City though. As you can imagine, the definition of this expression is simple, “To accelerate.”

Now, you know why I would not use this to Jessy? If not, you may want to read this post about heavy foot. She has a lead foot. Many times, I need to ask her to slow down. Maybe, I can say, “Don’t step on it!” ??

I did not know what this means until I heard it from a TV commercial. PetSmart TV commercial talks about their sale event and asks to people to come and, at that time, it says, “Step on it!” Not surprisingly, Jessy knew the meaning of the expression and explained it to me. What the…. I was like… Don’t even think about because you step on it all the time.
