A dated British military slang term meaning 'go away' or 'clear off,' borrowed from Arabic during the British colonial presence in Egypt and the broader Middle East. Used as a curt dismissal. Most common in early 20th century British military writing and memoirs; rarely heard today outside historical contexts.
The sergeant shouted imshee at the vendors crowding the camp gate.
