An Australian informal phrase meaning go away or get lost — a dismissal.
An Australian informal phrase meaning go away or get lost — a dismissal. 'Rack off' alone means to leave or go away (equivalent to 'piss off' but milder), and 'hairy legs' is an added intensifier that gives the phrase its comic, emphatic character. Used when telling someone to leave in an exasperated but not completely hostile way. The full phrase has a distinctly Australian flavor of informal bluntness with a touch of absurdism.

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.
