TIL the word "vamoose" is an Americanization of the Spanish word "vamos" for "let's go".
Obligatory vamoose you little varmint.

Funny thing related to this: I've heard that the Chevy Nova (car) was put out for sale in Mexico. No one bought it because "Nova" = "No va" = no go. No one wanted the "no go" car.
The Chevrolet Nova sold very well in Latin American markets; General Motors did not need to rename the car. While no va does mean "it doesn't go" in Spanish, nova was easily understood to mean "new".
Thank you for spreading the good word
