screw off
Get out now
Screw off has two main uses.
As a phrasal verb, it means to remove something by twisting: Screw off the bottle cap.
More commonly, it's a rude dismissal telling someone to go away or stop bothering you—a milder alternative to "fuck off": Why don't you just screw off?
To screw off also means to waste time or avoid work: He spent the afternoon screwing off instead of finishing the report.
