DA

I'm with everyone who's saying it's aggressive, but where I've heard it used it still shades closer to grouchy than wishing death on the other person. "Long walk, short pier" is the angrier cousin of "go jump in a lake." It doesn't automatically have the implication "I hope you drown." Though it does mean "your behavior has offended me, and I want something bad to happen to you."

It did seem to originally mean something more like “I hope you die”. I even looked it up, because I was starting to doubt myself, and I did find some evidence of that. It is a synonym for other phrases that don’t have a wish for death, which is notable, but that part is still implied sometimes.

I thought that it might have changed in definition with time, and found mixed results for that. Urban Dictionary says it means “go die”, but also says it means to just “shut up”. So it indeed seems like some people changed it so that falling in the water doesn’t necessarily mean drowning, like you said.
