How it's used
Carries a strong sense of dismissal and hostility, often used when someone is being a nuisance or overstaying their welcome. It functions as a blunt command to exit a space immediately. Because of its aggressive tone, it is strictly for confrontations and should never be used in polite or professional settings.
Examples
You are not welcome here, get lost now.
What are you still doing here? Get out.

Common phrases
get lost quickly
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the literal meaning of passing or crossing, as it is exclusively used as an imperative to order someone away. Using it with friends or superiors will likely cause significant offense.
