01
What it really means
Someone tells a friend they won a free trip to Hawaii. The friend doesn't say, "That is amazing news." The friend says, "Get OUT of here!" No one is leaving anywhere — as a reaction it means I can't believe what you just said, used for surprising, exciting, or unbelievable news.
In one line: a burst of celebratory disbelief — nothing to do with actually telling someone to leave.

CULTURE INSIGHT
Americans use exaggerated reactions to celebrate other people's news. The bigger the reaction, the more the speaker is showing they care. A flat "Oh, congratulations" can accidentally feel cold even when it's polite.
