/Sounds like "toh" (as in "toll") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "teh" (as in "ten") + "lah" (as in "lava")/

Meaning

A dismissive Rioplatense expression telling someone to get lost, stronger and more contemptuous than a simple "go away." It implies the person is unwanted, has worn out their welcome, and everyone would be happier without them around.

Examples

Still bothering people? Just get out of here already.

I told him to get lost before I completely lost it.
