show a leg
The phrase "show a leg" typically means to get out of bed or to wake up. It originated as a naval expression, where sailors would call out for their fellow crewmates to show a leg from their hammocks as a way to confirm they were awake and beginning their daily duties. Nowadays, it can also be used more broadly to urge someone to get up or start their day.
