off with you
Leave this instant
Off with you is a command telling someone to leave, typically delivered with mock sternness or playful dismissal rather than genuine hostility.
It has an old-fashioned, theatrical quality: Off with you now, I have work to do.
The phrase suggests shooing someone away, often affectionately.
