English term or phrase: piss off
Could you please tell me how do you say "piss off" in PT portuguese?
Thank you.
Richard Bormen
Portuguese translation:vai-te lixar
Explanation:
'Piss off' in English can be used as an unfriendly way to say "go away", or simply as an expression of irritation, a response to something that caused offence, etc. For the former I'd go with any of the terms suggested so far, but for the latter I might prefer something like "vai-te lixar" (often used as a translation for 'screw you' which is on a similar level to 'piss off'. Depends a bit on context, target audience, etc (as always...)

põe-te a andar


Explanation:
Sendo esta a forma mais "leve" não chegando a ser insulto em PT. É estilo: "Estás-me a chatear, põe-te a andar"
Para ser mais preciso na utilização poderia dar um pouco mais de contexto.

Guess you mean piss off as for \'get lost\' right?
Otherwise \'vai-te lixar\' mentioned by Solomon is ok.
