"When did this come in to usage?
Should I be offended if someone says it to me?"
I'd be offended as it means 'you're' boring them and to go bore someone else 
It's akin to 'shoo' or 'piss off you irritating oik'
It's quite old skool but still in usage |

"Yes
Why? It seems to be a very feeble response - no wit or pithyness."
Usually used to end s argument. They're bored with it. Hense why they've said bore off. Seems to be a new generation thing |

So since it was in response to me saying goodbye and that I wasn't impressed with their conversational skill and offering a few tips to how they could improve it with the next person they waylaid it was a really feeble attempt to offend me |

Yes they give up because they can't construct an appropriate retort so say that |

It's not offensive though is it really? Childish yes, but not offensive. |

Depends.
If I knew they understood a point I was making but were just being dismissive of it, I'd find that slightly offensive.
If, on the other hand they just didn't get it, then no.
My son sometimes uses it when he knows he's in the wrong - that, I do find annoying. |

People say it if you say something sensible online that they don't wanna hear.
Never heard the phrase irl but see it on fb comments a lot.
Don't be offended, it's usually something stupid people say when they can't be bothered to argue a point. |
