I thought it was "va", similar to Spanish, but I am basing that notion on the like 3 words of Creole I know. I think there is also a difference between the singular and plural, "you person get outta here" and "you folks get outta here."

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Julia thinks you speak actual French, just by putting on the sort of chi chi accent with which you might hear a French cartoon character speak.
Last night, she told me she knew how the French cavemen talked. I am so glad there were no witnesses.
Thanks. Hmm. I figure the bilingual English-Spanish speaker being told to git will need a hand gesture for that to make sense to her. My very rusty Spanish vocabulary is refusing to cooperate, but I don't think the Spanish sounds anything like "Allez."
t writes in a hand gesture
Hmm. I originally typed Ann, then did a google search to double check and got directed to sites that used the e. Google is not my friend today.
Nutty, I'm sure this is an x-post but vas is the familiar/singular form, allez is the plural/formal form of the verb aller. Je vais, tu vas, il va, nous allons, vous alllez, ils allent. (I go, you go, he goes, we go, you (all) go, they go.)
I think there is also a difference between the singular and plural, "you person get outta here" and "you folks get outta here."
Only one person is being ordered to leave, and it needs to sound as emphatic as possible.

It's an irregular verb.
Aller: je vais, tu vas, il va, nous allon, vous allez, ils vont.
OK, so would it be "Va!"? Or maybe "Vas!"?
Allez is also the imperative form, correct? Because I think that's what you would use if you were saying "GO!"
Susan, I think it would only be vas if the orderer and the orderee were on a first-name basis or the orderee was very inferior in rank (like, parent to child is vas). If they aren't intimates, it would be allez.
Edit: I think Stephanie is also right about allez as an imperative.
