The same as 'Go Jump In The Lake' - The idea is that your walking goes on longer than the pier (another word for dock) - ending up with you in the water.
It's a colloquism for "go away, I'm tired of talking with you and I find you irritating."

It means "Go away", but it is insulting.
You need to imagine what would happen if you took a long walk off a short pier, and that's how the person feels about you.

It basically means go jump in the lake. If you take a "long walk" off a "short pier" then you are going to fall in the lake/ocean, etc.

The person who is saying it to you wants you to go drown in a lake. This is not a very nice saying-the person wants you to leave them alone.

It's saying go kill yourself, get out of my face, I wish you would disappear, or something along those lines.

that means go drown yourself, or commit suicide. the person who said this probably doesn't like the person they were talking to.
