When I played sports in high school and college, coaches would often yell: “get the lead out.”

This was a favorite of my old Coach Dugan who shouted it any time I was loafing along.

Ol' Dutch moved on from college to a career on the railroad and one old man who had worked there for 50 odd years could not remember names. So his solution was to call all us young bucks “pig turd” coupled with “get the lead out.”
