be gone
Get out, fiend!
Be gone is an emphatic command telling someone or something to leave immediately.
It has an archaic or literary flavor, appearing in fairy tales, fantasy, and religious contexts where speakers banish unwanted presences: Be gone, foul spirit!
The phrase functions as a single imperative unit, more forceful than simply saying "go away" or "leave." In modern usage it often carries theatrical or humorous overtones.
