make like a tree and get out of here

Famously, one of Biff Tannen's taglines in Back to the Future movies. The other ones being "Shiiiit!" and "I hate manure!"

Young Biff: All right, I'll give it a look. Now why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

Old Biff (hitting Young Biff upside his head): It's LEAVE, you idiot! "Make like a tree and leave!" You sound like a damn fool when you're saying it wrong!
