genuinely rude; friends only, never at work

Literally

"Piss yourself away"

Word-for-word — which is rarely what it means.

How to use it

The one you shout when "Hau ab" wasn't enough — genuinely aggressive and confrontational. From "pissen" with the "ver-" prefix that means "away/off." Directed at a person in anger, so expect a reaction. Milder route: "Lass mich in Ruhe" (leave me alone) or "Zieh Leine" (pull the rope = shove off).

Heard in the wild

Verpiss dich, ich will dich nicht mehr sehen!

Piss off, I don't want to see you again!
