Here is the full sentence said by a young boxer to draw his coach out of the boxing ring.
へっぽこセコンドはひっこんでろいっ
If it is imperative form, I would like to know the grammatical difference between this form and 「ひっこめ」

- ひっこむ: "to butt out"
- (ひっこんで: te-form of above)
- ひっこんでいる: progressive form of ひっこむ
- ひっこんでる: casual contraction of above
- ひっこんでろ: imperative form of above
- ひっこんでろいっ: This is an uncommon sentence-end particle used to emphasize the sentence. I think this ～ろい(っ) is seen almost exclusively in fiction, and it sounds masculine but a little childish. According to 明鏡国語辞典:
い
《肯定や命令の文の後に付いて》意味を強める。「早くしろい」「いやだい、ぼくがやるんだい」 【語法】助動詞「だ」「じゃ」などに付いた「だい」「じゃい」、終助詞「か」「わ」「な」に付いた「かい」「わい」「ない」、動詞の命令形に付いた「ろい」などの形で使う。
The difference from ひっこめ mainly comes from the "progressive" part. So it's more like "stay/keep away" rather than just "get away".
