To sign 'go away,' start with your dominant hand open in front of you, palm facing the side. Flick your hand sharply forward and outward in a dismissive 'shooing' motion. Make sure to use a stern or matching facial expression to convey the intensity of the command.
Sign 'please', then use the 'go away' sign with a serious but not overly aggressive expression, followed by 'I need study'.
Sign 'dog', then use the 'go away' sign with a frustrated expression, perhaps shaking your head to indicate that it 'would not' leave.
Point to 'him', sign 'tell', and then use a firm 'go away' sign with a stern facial expression to show you meant business.

It can be! Because it is a direct command, signing 'go away' with a sharp motion and angry face is very blunt. Use it carefully depending on your relationship with the person.
Yes, this sign works perfectly for shooing away a pesky bug, a dog begging for food, or a person bothering you. Just adjust your facial expression to match the situation.
'Go away' is typically signed using just your dominant hand. Using two hands might look overly dramatic or like a completely different gesture, so stick to one hand for clarity.
