How it's used
This is a highly aggressive and offensive way to tell someone to leave. It carries a morbid connotation, as it literally references a corpse crawling away, implying that the person is unwanted and dead to the speaker. Avoid using this unless you intend to start a serious confrontation.
Examples
Get lost right now, stop getting in the way.
