The point in a journey where you have officially left your starting point and begun traveling to your destination. Your bags are loaded, your kids are strapped in, your fully
gassed up, food is packed, and you can officially announce your ETA. For people who run late all the time, this communicates that you have completed procrastinating and are done going back inside to grab “one more thing”. It comes from aviation jargon where your wheels leave the runway and you can
fold up the
landing gear.
Example:
In order to arrive at the park by
noon, we need to be
wheels up by
11:30!
OK, homie, I am finally wheels up, be there in 10 minutes.
