: Anyone know the origin of this phrase? We weren't even sure it was a real saying, but a Google search shows up quote a few uses.

It makes more sense when spelled "Go get 'em, tiger." I doubt that a specific origin can be found. It's just an expression of encouragement, like "'Atta boy!" or "Go for it, sister!"
