Leave me alone! Explanation: Dear Anand, Such expression is used in Brazil when someone wants to say to another person to get away from his/her presence and do something more interesting then staying around. I wouldn\'t know what expression could be a good equivalent in North American English. However, in British English you could use the following alternatives depending on the context: 1)Leave me alone! 2)Go forth and multiply ( a polite way of saying piss off) 3) A rude alternative: Piss off The important bit of this expression, as I said before, is one person saying in a jokingly way to another, to find something more interesting to do. I hope this will help you to reach a decision. I am a native Brazilian living in UK . Good Knowledge and deep interest in both cultures |

Get lost ! Explanation: Just another way of saying, go away, leave me alone. I heard it somewhere in an angry tone of voice. It seems adequate. Good luck! Leo |
