Get Lost!
Rob:
Hello and welcome to the English We Speak. I'm Rob.
Helen:
And hello, I'm Helen. And today we've decided to come outside for a walk in the beautiful English countryside.
Rob:
Mmmm, smell the wonderful fresh air. Isn't it great to be outdoors?
Helen:
Oh, well it wasâ€Åšbut not now it's raining. Come on Rob, I think we should head back.
Rob:
Hold on Helen. Not that way! According to the map, it's this wayâ€Åš
Helen:
Rob, you're always wrong. Just follow me but hurry up; we're getting wet.
Rob:
Oh, get lost!
Helen:
Get lost? We are lost!
Rob:
No Helen – get lost – I mean go away, leave me alone. Don't tell me the way to go.
Helen:
That's not a very nice thing to say.
Rob:
Well, it's what you can say to someone if they're really annoying you. So go away, get lost!
Helen:
OK, if you say so. I'm off. See you back at the car!
Rob:
I'll get there first! OK, here are some other examples of using 'get lost':
Example
I'm tired of hearing about how you know everything. Just get lost!
Get lost! I'm having a break so don't disturb me.
You say you climbed Mount Everest on your own?! Get lost, I don't believe you.

Rob:
Mmm, saying get lost is quite impolite so you need to be careful how you say it and who you say it to. Maybe I was a bit rude to Helen. Helen, Helen, come backâ€ÅšI didn't mean to be so rude.
Helen:
â€Åšwell you weren't being very nice. Anyway, I was going to come back and find you.
Rob:
And why was that Helen?
Helen:
Because I got lost. I needed the map!
Rob:
Ha. Well, here it is. Come on follow me.
Helen:
OK Rob. See you next time.
Both:
Bye.
Rob:
Right, it's definitely this way.
Helen:
Are you sure?
Rob:
Yes, that's what the map says.
Helen:
Rob you've got the map upside down!
