This may count as weird to most Frenchmen, Barga: a Légion Étrangère-ism that the US Army would translate as "get off your ass": se démerder, just about always used in the imperative, démerdes-toi, démerdez-vous.

Really popular saying often used by everybody in France. (means "do it yourself, and don't bother me"). But don't say it to your boss.
Quite close from "Bouges ton cul !" "Move your ass" that means "act !"
