How it's used
Carries a strong sense of hostility and is used to dismiss someone with extreme impatience. It is significantly more aggressive than simply saying 走開 or 行開. Using this phrase effectively ends a conversation and signals that the speaker has no intention of resolving the conflict peacefully.
Examples
Get lost right now and stop bothering me.
You are not welcome here, piss off!

Common mistake
Avoid using this in any professional or polite setting, as it is considered highly offensive and confrontational. It is not a casual way to ask for space but a direct verbal attack.
