Thanks

Interesting... the particle 'of' at the end was the reason of my asking this question.

so, if you say: Get out of the house!, it sounds a bit redundant to me. Get out the house!would be as perfect as a beer on a sunny and hot Sunday.

"Get out something" means something completely different from "get out of soemthing." If you mean "leave" or "escape," you need "get out of." "Get out" followed by a direct object means to remove something from its storage place. "It's almost Thanksgiving -- time to get out the good china and silver!"

You can, of course, say simply "Get out!" meaning "Leave! Get out of here."

So, how about these two?

Get out the car!

Get out of the car! Thanks

Still American.

Get out the car -- remove the car from, for example, the garage. We can't move those big boxes to the back of the garage with the car there. I'll get out the car, you move the boxes in,
