British and Australian slang for telling someone to go away or for making a quick, often stealthy exit yourself. When you tell someone to nick off, you're telling them to get lost — it's ruder than 'go away' but stops short of a full-on insult. When used reflexively, it means slipping away before anyone notices, like ducking out of work early or disappearing from a party without saying goodbye.
