Well thats probably the most likely one. I can well imagine my Grandad using it to tell my dad to, well for want of a better way of putting it, 'bugger off'. It might be worth pointing out that the the first word in that shouldn't be translated and taken literally. Colloquial terms can sometimes lead to confusion :)
I think I'll drip feed the other questions, otherwise I might run out of things to say.
