Meaning
A blunt command telling someone to leave, clear off, or remove themselves from a place or a situation. Stronger and more dismissive than a polite 'go away', 'tek weh yuhself' carries real irritation or contempt, much like 'get lost' or 'take yourself away from here'. It waves a person off with a sharp edge, sending them packing when they are unwanted, in the way, or getting on your nerves, and it belongs to the everyday vocabulary of dismissal, the firm, impatient order to be gone that leaves no doubt of the feeling behind it.
Examples
-
Mi nuh waan si yuh face, tek weh yuhself!
I don't want to see your face, take yourself away!
Said in anger during an argument; the phrase punches harder than a simple 'go'.
-
If yuh cyaan behave, tek weh yuhself outa mi yaad.
If you can't behave, remove yourself from my yard.
'cyaan' is 'can't'; 'yaad' means home or premises here.
-
Him tell di beggar fi tek weh himself.
He told the beggar to clear off.
Reported speech; 'himself' replaces 'yuhself' when referring to a third person.
Origin
From English 'take away yourself', a reflexive construction retained in Patois where the verb 'tek' (take) plus 'weh' (away, from English 'way'/'away') forms a fixed dismissive expression.
How it’s used
Confrontational and rude; appropriate among equals in a quarrel but disrespectful if aimed at an elder. Not something you'd say lightly to a stranger without expecting a fight.
