"Chocks Away"

Meaning:

Lets get started we are moving

Origin:

Chocks away was originally used when an aeroplane is preparing take off and the pilot shouts 'chocks away' meaning, take the "chock" that is under the wheel that stops the plane from moving while parked, away, to allow the pilot to take off. The term is now used if someone is preparing to do something.
