Vete al carajo
Go to hell
Si vas a seguir faltando, vete al carajo.
You're arguing and the other person keeps interrupting and disrespecting you, so you shut it down harshly.
Literally, it means "go to the crow's nest / the ship's mast" (one historical meaning of "carajo"), though today the literal sense is mostly lost.
In practice, it means "go to hell," "get the hell out," or "fuck off," depending on tone and region. It's strong but often perceived as slightly less graphic than "tomar por culo," and it's very common across many Spanish-speaking countries. In some places it can sound more everyday-angry than shocking, but it's still rude.
"Vete al carajo" does not mean mind your own business, leave me out of this, stop lying to me. It specifically means "Go to hell".
