beat it
Leave right now
Beat it is a command to leave quickly, often rudely dismissive: Beat it, kid, you're bothering me.
The phrase suggests urgency or annoyance—you want someone gone immediately.
It can also mean to depart hastily: We beat it out of there before the cops showed up.
As vulgar slang, beat it means to masturbate (of males).
