What does ¡anda ya! mean?

ExpressionColoquial

oh, come off it

Two uses, separated by tone. Faced with something unbelievable it is disbelief. Faced with a compliment it is how you get rid of it, which in Spain is very nearly compulsory: taking praise straight is faintly odd.

—Estás igual que hace diez años. —Anda ya.
Refusing the compliment is the polite move.
