English term or phrase: SHOVE OFF
Las traducciones que he encontrado de la frase shove off no me satisfacen, por eso solicito su ayuda para encontrar una traducción más adecuada al contexto:

"WE'VE JUST BEEN GIVEN A NEW MISSION STATEMENT, AND IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT CUSTOMERS, SO **SHOVE OFF**."

Gracias de antemano por su ayuda.

shove off
¡largate! ó "que te pires"


Explanation:
Hola: la expresión "shove off" es muy brítanica y bastante "básica". Es decir, no está demostrando muy buenas modales digamos. Por eso creo que "largate" o "que te pires" se acercan mejor al sentido y uso del original.
Un saludo, Ian

Explanation:
Viene de la expresión coloquial "ahuecar el ala" o marcharse. En otras palabras, "váyanse" (con sus pretensiones a otra parte, por ejemplo).
