Talk:get lost

RFD discussion: July–September 2019
Rfd-redundant Interjection sense, does not appear to be distinct from verb sense 3 in the imperative. Pppery (talk) 16:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * keep as a WT:Phrasebook entry because it's already in the phrasebook category, though i think someone should add the phrasebook template. in my opinion, the imperative form is the only form of get lost that would qualify for the phrasebook. --Habst (talk) 01:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep. There is definitely a unique sense for the phrase, "get lost", spoken as a complete sentence. bd2412 T 01:50, 20 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep as it stands: none of the verb senses express the meaning "go away, scram". (Perhaps one could, but it doesn't right now.) Equinox ◑ 06:48, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
 * My instinct is to keep the interjection. However, the interjection is currently given as a example for one of the verb senses, "I don't want to have to tell you again: Get lost!", which is unideal. Mihia (talk) 19:43, 28 July 2019 (UTC)


 * RFD kept per consensus. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:37, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

positive sense
I think Ive heard this used in a positive way as an expression of disbelief .... if so the range of meanings would be a lot like shut up. — Soap — 01:38, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
