How to Say ‘piss off’ in Japanese
うせろ
u sero
[oo seh-roh]
💬 Usage Tip: [うせろ] is a contracted rough form related to [失せる] "to go away / disappear," so it means more than just "leave." Shortened rough forms like this often sound sharper and more hostile.
🇯🇵 In Japan: [うせろ] is very aggressive and sounds tougher than a plain "go away." It is the kind of line you hear in fights, gangster talk, or fiction.
