How it's used
This is a very aggressive and rude way to tell someone to leave. It carries a much stronger sense of hostility than simply saying 走開. Using this will almost certainly escalate a conflict, so it should be avoided in polite or professional settings.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with the standard 走開, which is neutral and can be used in everyday situations. Using 片開 to a stranger or a superior is considered highly offensive and confrontational.
