Go suck an egg 

Phrase finder suggests that the saying originates from the dictionary definition of the term "suck-egg" which refers to:

- An animal that is reputed to suck eggs, e.g. a weasel; figuratively. an avaricious person.

It is also considered to be a dismissive insult similar to the term fuck off but is less abrasive.

TL;DR

It's a less-abrasive dismissive insult intended to be directed at someone who is being greedy.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
