Hop it is a British dismissal meaning get lost, go away, or clear off — delivered with varying degrees of impatience depending on tone. It can be affectionately exasperated when said to children underfoot, or genuinely hostile when aimed at someone who has overstayed their welcome. The hop suggests a light, quick departure — you are not being commanded to storm out, just to bounce away promptly and stop being a nuisance.
