/Sounds like "EER" (as in "eagle") + "seh" (as in "set") + "AH" (as in "art") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "KREHS" (as in "crest") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

A Chilean expression telling someone to get lost, go away, or just expressing strong annoyance. It's the softened Chilean version of a stronger expression, direct but not as brutal as it could be.

Examples

I told you the same thing a thousand times, get out of here!
