The phrase "gat in to act" is a common expression used in Scotland to refer to someone who is ready and eager to take action. The word "gat" is spelled with a "g" and an "a," but is pronounced with the Scottish "ch" sound, as in "loch". Its IPA phonetic transcription is /ɡɑt/. The spelling of this word is a reflection of the unique phonetic features of the Scottish accent, which often substitutes "ch" for "g" sounds in certain words.
