I've heard (sometimes abusive) parents use it, as well as bosses, and it's always meant as "get out of the room entirely, you disgust me, I don't want to see you at all" | |

Agreed this can also be used if I want to move in a particular direction, but under those circs I'd be inclined to say "Get out of the way!" (but that has a certain amount of brusqueness) | |
