Buzz off to your home
Does "buzz off to your home" sound okay? If I want to express the same meaning a little softer, how about "Go away to your home"?
Top answer
"Buzz off" is a dismissal. People issuing one generally don't care where the person goes. "Go away" is a little softer, but still people giving the command don't care whether the person goes home, just that he goes away.

Is there another way to say it tougher or stronger? "Go away to your home" sounds too gentle than I want to say. How about "f*ck off to your room/home" though it is a slang expression?

The stronger the verb, the less natural it is to mention the place the object of your ire is to go. Because the stronger the desire to see the person gone, the more important it is that the person just go. Anywhere. The exception to the destination rule is **** or a euphemism for ****: "Go to ****!" or "Go to perdition!" or "Go to the devil!"
