Meaning
A blunt command to leave — 'get out of here,' 'go home,' or 'get lost,' depending on how sharp it's said. Literally 'come go up,' but nobody is parsing it that literally in the moment; it lands as a flat dismissal that sends someone off rather than a real direction. Close kin to 'gweh' and 'guh weh,' but bigger and more theatrical — the kind of line that reads as a joke on a T-shirt and as a genuine order said face to face.
Examples
-
Come gwope, mi nuh have time fi yuh chat.
Get out of here, I don't have time for your talk.
-
Yuh a get pon mi nerves — come gwope!
You're getting on my nerves — leave!
-
Him tell dem fi come gwope go a dem yaad.
He told them to get out and go on home.
Origin
Literally 'come go up' — 'come' plus 'gwope,' a stretched, emphatic relative of 'guh weh'/'gweh' ('go away'). The lengthened vowel turns a plain dismissal into a bigger, more theatrical one, which is why it reads as a punchline as easily as an order. See Gweh, Gweh.
How it’s used
Sharper and more performative than a plain 'gweh' — often thrown out for comic effect among friends, though it lands as genuinely rude aimed at a stranger or an elder. Tone decides everything.
