HSS  +  210877 Thu, 30 Mar 06 04:03 AM Sometimes a DJ says, "And away we go!" Is that used when you he wants to finish his jingle and start the program? Hiro HSS Joined on Wed, Nov 16 2005 Sendai, Japan Regular Member 681 JH7JHH, First Class ham radio operator. N9COW in the US.

	Matt0915  +  210881 Thu, 30 Mar 06 04:09 AM Hiro, Yes, when a dj says "And away we go!" that is exactly what is meant, that either the DJ wants the program to start or the program is in fact about to start! Hope this helps. Matt0915 Joined on Wed, Mar 29 2006 New Member 27 Matt

	HSS  +  211032 Thu, 30 Mar 06 01:48 PM Much appreciated. I was thinking the expression was actually, "And a way we go." But web search revealed it should be, "And away we go." However, I still think "And a way we go" makes more sense to render the meaning. Hiro HSS

	Clive  +  211044 Thu, 30 Mar 06 02:35 PM Hi, 'And away we go' was a catch-phrase made popular by the American comedian, Jackie Gleason. If you use the normal word order, it becomes 'And we go away'. ie we are commencing a journey. Your other suggestion would be 'And we go a way' which clearly (well, at least to me!) has less meaning.
