Hi Annabella 'To get over' someone is a very modern, almost slang term 1) You should get over me If a boy/man dumps a girl/woman - he doesn't want to see her anymore - he might say this. Especially if she is very upset. He is saying that the girl should stop thinking about him and should stop having feelings for him and move on with her life. Almost to forget he exists. 2) I can't get over you Using the same example as above, the girl might then say this to the boy, maybe a few days or weeks later. She is saying she can't forget him, that she still likes / loves him and might also say "I want you back". iThe sentence implies (says) that there is a lot of emotion involved for the speaker. I think girls/women would say this more often than boys/men. Another way this is sometimes said is 3) O, get over it! If somebody is very upset about something trival (something that is small and not worth worrying about), the other person might say this to them. Here is means that the speaker of the sentence is getting annoyed at the upset person and wants them to stop making such a fuss. 4) Get over yourself The person this is usually said to will be very vain. They will think they are amazing and 'God's gift to the world' (They think that everyone should bow down to them). The speaker of the sentence would be very annoyed and angry with this person's attitude and would tell them to 'Get over yourself', meaning they should stop thinking they are so amazing and that nobody else in the world is so important. I hope this answers your question and explains some of the other uses of the phrase too! Vicki
