Bedeutung
A rude way to tell someone to leave.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Among 'gopniks' or street-oriented youth, 'отвали' is a standard part of the lexicon. It is used not just as a dismissal but as a way to establish a 'tough' persona. The educated class (intelligentsia) generally avoids 'отвали', viewing it as a sign of low culture. They might use 'отстаньте' or more sophisticated sarcasms instead. In the CIS gaming community, 'отвали' is often the first response to 'backseat gaming' (when someone tells you how to play). It is almost a neutral term in this high-aggression environment. In modern Russian tech companies (like Yandex or VK), the culture is more Westernized, and 'отвали' is strictly taboo in professional Slack channels.
High Aggression
Never use this unless you are prepared for a fight or a serious argument. It is a 'point of no return' in many conversations.
The 'Да' Prefix
Adding 'Да...' before 'отвали' (Да отвали!) makes it sound more natural and expresses that your patience has finally run out.
