YGTBSM!
Since this is a newsgroup dedicated to factual precision--measuring
with a micrometer, marking with a greasepencil and cutting with a
chainsaw, let me provide a minor correction to your expletive---
The proper phrasing is YGBSM, since "Gotta" is a contraction and only
one word. It was first uttered by Jack Donovan, original F-100F Weasel
Bear upon getting the first briefing of what their mission was going
to be.
One of the ACC Generals of the mid 90's had a customization of his email
program to allow, among other things, a one button reply of "YGBSM"
