German schrammen
Today, schrammen means

1. to (accidentally) bump into something and then scrape along its surface in one movement.

2. to sustain an injury by the action described under 1. Such a (light) wound is colloquially called "Schramme".

The meaning depart! was (is?) only used in a group of dialects of Thuringia, Germany. (Source: German Dictionary of Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm, online version, )
