 The office softball team for senior citizen advocacy organization AARP in Washington, DC's Congressional Softball League is named, "Get Off Our Lawn".In Britain, a similar phrase has a different source and meaning.In 1993, John Major in a speech warned "Get your tractors off our lawn" (in reference to French trade demands), and in 1996, politician Kenneth Clarke allegedly told Brian Mawhinney "Tell your kids to get their scooters off my lawn" (Clarke was speaking of Eurosceptics in his own party).
