a nicer, more polite way of telling someone to gtfo and get lost-in combination and at the same time
Since gtfo by itself is too boorish and rude to use, and get lost doesn't cut it anymore because most people have cars, it would probably be more appropriate to use the term drive yourself away; people can drive away from a given situation faster than they can physically get lost.
An impromptu concert performed usually while walking down a street. Usually performed in France, always performed by an indie band. If it's a true take away show, it will involve some obscure instruments.
Did you see the Bowerbirds' Take Away Show on youtube? My band is doing that over fall break, but with a glockenspiel instead of an accordian.

Far-Away Fine: She's fine from afar but far from fine!!!
Far-Away Fine is when a girl or a guy looks fine (hot) from far away but when you get close you realize that he or she is not fine looking.
Two girls walking down the sidewalk see a guy off in the distance walking towards them and one girl says to the other, "Oh look! He's lookin' fine!" but then as the guy approaches they see that he is not fine. Once they pass him and walk on for a bit the same girl looks to her girlfriend and says, "He was far-away fine!" and they both laugh.
