I asked my son, who speaks Mandarin. He said, "The only thing that comes to
mind immediately would be dzou kai. Which basically means 'get away'."

The problem is, the English doesn't make sense. We ought to be saying
"Get away!" also.

The Japanese army said "miwase, miswase!" which I think is turn, turn!
But that wasn't to warn people off. That was to get a spin. (Normally
they used a starter truck with an engine in back and a row projecting
over the cab; the rod had a claw-like arrangement on the end, which
engaged the propeller at the spinner,)
