go fly a kite
Also,
go chase yourself or climb a tree or jump in the lake or sit on a tack or soak your head. Go away and stop bothering me, as in Quit it, go fly a kite, or Go jump in the lake. All of these somewhat impolite colloquial imperatives date from the first half of the 1900s and use
go as described under go and.
