How it's used
This is a highly aggressive and offensive way to tell someone to leave. It literally combines the verb for crawling with the word for a corpse, implying that the person is as unwelcome as a dead body that needs to be dragged away. It is strictly for use in intense arguments or when you want to show extreme contempt for someone.
Examples
Get lost quickly, don't get in the way of my work.
He always tells people to get lost, he is really rude.

Common mistake
Do not use this with anyone you do not intend to offend deeply, as it is far more insulting than standard phrases like 走開 or 行開.
