get lost

Go away, leave me alone. This rude, slangy imperative dates from the first half of the 1900s. It seems to be replacing the somewhat earlier scram, with the same meaning, heard less often today. P. G. Wodehouse had it in Company for Henry (1967), “Can I have a word with you? In private ... Get lost, young Jane.”
