What it means
A brisk British brush-off that means go away, pack it in, or stop pestering. It sounds weirdly polite on the surface, like you're sending someone off for a nice little run, but the point is still clear: leave me alone. You hear it with strangers, sales chancers, and mates who are chatting pure nonsense. Delivery does the heavy lifting.
Usage examples
"Bloke kept chatting bare rubbish on the Night Tube, leaning in like we’re pals. I just looked up and went jog on, mate, and he moved down the carriage."
"I told the bloke handing out flyers to jog on, I was already late for work."
"If he's going to be rude about it, he can jog on and find someone else to help."
"He started telling me crypto was gonna change my life, so I just went jog on, mate, I've not even had my coffee yet."
"Some woman barged right to the front and said she was in a rush. Bloke behind me muttered jog on and nobody argued with him."
