There's another way to say "go away" but it may be too harsh:

(it's a bit like "piss off")

Sounds like my mother too. Whenever we complained about anything, she'd say: "There are children in Ethiopia who would love to have your problems."

, as my grandmother used to say: eat all your dinner, the poor starving black babies in Africa.
