I always kind of interpreted it as “get out of my sight,” but there is also “go jump off a cliff,” that makes sense. Yeah our culture is definitely more squeamish about both “bad” words (like fuck) and sex than it is about violence.
Yeah, that was my real point (insofar as there was one).

This is why I struggle to find any way of expressing anger or frustration in English. The only options are ones that imply that sex, bodily functions, illegitimacy, animals, &c. are bad.

I am interested in your thoughts on “go fly a kite”, as used in similar context.
