Best Answer

The expression has to do with starting a task. When you are assigned a task, frequently one is told to "get x, now go do it". This has been shortened to "from the get-go". It means from the beginning.

It is an Americanism that is creeping into other English speaking cultures. Yes, it means 'from the very beginning', but it is grammatically incorrect, a cliché, and bad English.
