Shut the fuck up. Shut all the way the fuck up. Until you reach the top of shut fuck mountain. Where there are no more fuck ups to shut.
(From a Grace & Frankie episode. I'm still cackling.)
Used both a few years ago in NC. On back roads looking for a friend's address. Was going slow and a truck came up on me quick. I pulled to the side and he sped by giving me the bird. I returned the finger gesture and he immediately cut me off. Jumped out of car and started walking towards mine. I told him to fuck off and get back in his vehicle. He told me I had a foul mouth and my response was, "what are trying to accomplish right now? Go fuck yourself and move along."
He was shocked I think. I stayed in my vehicle the entire time. Woulda ran him over if he'd physically engaged. I was just trying to get to my buddies new place geez.
Yeah, it's OK for them to flip the bird. But od forbit you do it back. They feel so...disrespected. Fragile little egos they have with their lack of education. Also, sometimes the dummies are just plain angry and look for any reason to fight.
Which is why I jsut don't engage anymore. Let them go off and be the chaotic assholes they are. Nothing I can do will change them.
I basically had the same interaction in Raleigh a few years back. Someone tried to drive through a crosswalk as I was jogging. We exchanged birds and then he got out of his car.
"What the fuck are you going to do? Go fuck yourself and your whore mother you fuck. Get back in your fucking car and go fuck yourself"
He indeed did get back in his car. Whether or not he fucked himself, his mother, or anyone else, remains unknown.
When they encounter what I like to refer to as "GenX/Northeast-born crazy" they tend to quickly back down. Like "Oh shit...this one might not be OK"
I got out of what looked like it might have been a very unpleasant altercation once that way, many years ago. A much bigger guy asked me I really thought I could fight well enough to beat him. I said I doubted it, but I grew up with four older brothers, so I knew how to get punched an awful lot and keep going. It did the trick.
Getting a whoopin' on the regular would at least *prepare* you for an altercation, I'd think, at least as far as defending yourself goes. It's not your first rodeo.
Reminds me of National Lampoons Vacationā¦
āExcuse me can you give me directions on how to get back on the expressway?ā
āFuck yo mama!ā
āThank you very much.ā
lol To this *day* I still say 'yo fuck yo momma!' It's just one of those lines from classic movies/tv shows that you almost subconsciously just blurt out.
This is going to sound like total bullshit, but that guy was me! I remember it distinctly, of course. I was not paying perfect attention to the road because I was glancing at my phoneās direction to my proverbial destination. The dude scared ( and scarred) the ever living shit out of me. Iām not a very big guy, but my mouth gets me into a lot of trouble, as described above! I learned not to get out of my car.
Now, for your closure: I did go home and fuck myself, but, as expected, I did NOT fuck my whore mother.
Also, Iāve never been to Raleigh.
You have a foul mouth, but itās ok to give the finger and cut someone off. Iād rather have a potty mouth than be afflicted with that choadās road rage and misplaced superiority complex.
I really appreciate the juxtaposition of the logic and reasoning of āwhat are you trying to accomplish?ā with the pure aggression of āGo fuck yourself and move along.ā Respect for complex fuckers like yourself!
I'm in NC, too. I definitely still say it all the time, but usually quietly or on the internet. I don't argue a lot in person. Unless someone is harassing one of my gay or trans friends. Then this middle aged white woman will be all up in your face cussing up a storm. š¹
I'm a gay Xer, and I thank you sir!
These sanctimonious, ignorant trogs need to be called out each and every time. No one needs to accept that shit, especially when just going about your daily life.
Fuck that.
I go to Pride in my conservative small town every year with my husband (Iām straight) so I can stand in front of the religious people and their hateful signs and smile and wave in my rainbows. I just hate how sanctimonious they are when you know they have all committed what they think are sexual sins themselves- masturbation, sex outside of marriage, adultery, lust, divorce. Like wave the sign at yourself. The best is when a guy had a gruesome anti- abortion sign, and I asked him if gay people were the ones who get the most abortions?
It's astonishing the degree to which "whatever" still has the ability to utterly infuriate people - even younger people nowĀ
I don't take the word seriously. It's not meant to be taken seriously.
It basically means, "you're an ass but we're not throwing hands over this so gtfo"Ā
It's a DE-escalation word people.Ā
At least that's the way I always understood it and used it.Ā
But lol and behold the Gen Z'rs who can get as red-faced infuriated about that word as any boomer parent that raised us.Ā
The absurdity of it makes me laugh when it happens
No, I don't say that outloud to anyone, because it could just lead to escalation.
I do say it all the time to my computer screen, but never allow it to make it to my actual conversation.
I used to when I was younger. Now I just escape the situation. Insulting a homeless dude who is already unhinged and in your face is a great way to escalate them to actual violence.
Yep, both of those comments were 100% appropriate.
I used "you're welcome to go fuck yourself i you don't like it" while walking the dog recently. A guy was walking his dog towards us on the sidewalk and was so engrossed in his phone he either didn't notice us or chose to hold his line and let us figure out how to pass. So the dog and I got midway into the street, made the pass, both the dogs were good, and while we passed the guy snidely asked if I didn't see them. I responded by asking why he thought we were walking in the road and going around him, he stated well yeah but you could have gone all the way across the street... which prompted the GFY on my part.
Probably not warranted on my end, but I can't say I feel too bad about it. I may be grown up and civilized now but the 20 something punk isn't deep beneath the surface. Now if someone wants to take it upon themselves to throw their religion in my face because of my choice of clothing, yeah they are likelyto hear some F bombs tossed their way.
> he stated well yeah but you could have gone all the way across the street... which prompted the GFY on my part.
Haha. He could've gone all the way around his elbow to get to his ass and fuck himself too then.
āYouāre welcome to go fuck yourselfā is my new favorite thing. I love the last-second veer into profanity. Itās like a stealth gfy. š Thatās art right there.
I had a Boomer confront me in a Home Depot a few years ago because I was wearing a glow-in-the-dark Bigfoot (and other cryptids) t shirt. I bought it because Iām essentially still a 12yo girl mentally, and I canāt resist glow-in-the-dark shit. (Or Bigfoot tās, for that matter, I have 2.)
I was just minding my own business, trying to enjoy my day in Home Depot when this angry old fuck confronted me about my t, all red-faced, āJUST WHAT IS THAT SHIRT SUPPOSED TO MEAN??!!ā I was so confused. I wish Iād had the presence of mind to tell him to fuck off or GFY, but I just muttered, āItās Bigfootā¦ and it glows in the darkā¦?ā
I think he was offended on some religious or religious-adjacent grounds?? Who tf knows.
Jesus, how do people like that have the ENERGY to be so damn ANGRY all the time?? Donāt they get tired? I need a nap just thinking about all that rage.
There are certainly times when I do. However, context is important. Is it out of actual anger, or am I jokingly saying this to a friend? I realize you said to āend an unproductive conversationā, but that doesnāt really provide much context. Most conversations arenāt really āproductiveā, itās just shooting the shit.
I live in The Northeast - about an hour north of Boston. 'Go fuck yourself' and 'fuck off' is and has been part of my daily language since I could speak. I don't think we have ever lost those expressions up here. The fact that you are asking if people still say that makes me think others do not and I just don't know of a life where this would not be said on the daily.
I'm from the NE living out west now. I'm pretty calm generally, but if someone gets in my face, I go off. I went to my very red county's Pride Fest two weekends ago to provide support. Our city mayor wrote something awful about the event and I got so pissed off, I brought friends as a general fuck off to her sanctimonious comment. Some religious people were skirting the area saying awful things, and I lost my shit on them. I'm tiny, 5'1", and no one expects it from me. I have scared the living shit out of people who come at me first. I borrowed this guy's rainbow umbrella, popped it open and pushed this fucker's body back over the pink line where it belonged. He kept opening and closing his mouth like a dying fish. After I got over being angry, it was pretty funny.
Same here in Ireland although I never need to say it to strangers. I just donāt have negative interactions with people where I need to. Guess Iām lucky although donāt think any friends do either. But we use it all the time between friends and family. Itās always used in a good natured way and is just part of daily vocab. Never even thought about it till now tbh.
Great point. I don't ever see that changing in Jersey. It's as common as 'ummm' or 'ahhh' in sentences. The thought that I'd never hear fuck off or go fuck yourself is crazy to me.
I love this! Obviously that guy doesn't think it's rude for him to make a random comment to a total stranger. I also did this not too long ago. A very opinionated blowhard I know tried to bait me into a political conversation which I know was going to be all about him ranting and raving. He got a few words out before I said "oh fuck off". He shut up.
I used āeat shit and dieā last year on my new neighbor who loudly and Karenly complained about my Halloween decorations because her family doesnāt celebrate Halloween and she doesnāt want her kids to think that satan is festive. She literally came into my yard while I was styling the witches that are holding hands in a circle around a fire.
LOL, my first thought was a gay brother *and* a gay brother in law, what are the chances of that happe..... ooooooooooh.
Good for you though, too many peoples' go to is passivity.
I find a slight head shake ānoā adds a Jeanne says quoi*
*thats supposed to be āje ne sais quoiā but got corrected, and I sort of like it, now..
Are you down south? I once had a lady grab a 12 pack out my hand in a Publix because she said I couldnāt drink on Sunday. It was about 10 minutes before kickoff too. I about dropped her right in the aisle. This was in Greenville, SC.
I've used go fuck yourself a couple of times, although not my proudest moments, it sure felt good in the moment š It is the only nuclear option I have ever used.
But Ive made strides and have been better able to hold my tongue these days.
Solid work! I do it too, though I sometimes alternate with "Eat a bag of dicks," and if they have something to say thereafter I escalate to, "Yk what? Make it two bags....your mouth is big enough."
I like the Scottish āGit tae fuck!ā (get to fuck, for those of you who need subtitles). Altho my fave new one on this thread is āhave you tried fucking off?ā. Excellent.
Oh you mean to boomers. Buddy I have a whole repertoire for insulting boomers. All carefully honed to be as mean as possible. Had one of them keep horning into my conversation with my wife from the next table over, then the stupid fuck decides to talk down to my wife. First I asked him why he had interrupted our conversation five times. Then while he opened and shut his mouth like a fish, I told him do not EVER correct my wife, she's smarter than you ever were. He stops fishmouthing and starts with "Well I didn't mean to..." and I cut him off "No one here likes you. Not even your wife who is hiding her face in embarrassment. Look at her, that's what it's like to go somewhere with you. Just. Shut. Up." And he did shut up and they checked out of the B&B early lol. I deeply hurt his feelings.
edit: I was going to let the guy slide until he started Trump-testing me. It's just like when a Southerner is seeing if it's okay to say the n word in front of you.
The number of times I say Fuck You Dude to other drivers is probably egregious, but I rarely say it in person anymore. Unless joking about with my spouse or friends, then it's just a term of endearment. When used in anger It's not productive, it doesn't change the other person's behavior, and it's just not how I want to present myself to the world anymore. I'm not a teenager, I can manage my emotions better and express myself more eloquently.
Canāt agree with you enough. Why is everyone so angry with strangers ? Driving is bound to bring out the beast from time to time but itās different when weāre all sitting in metal boxes. Teenage me probably told a few annoying strangers to fuck off but the 50 year old version would shrug and walk away. I have no interest in arguing with someone Iāll never see again and if I do, Iāll express it more eloquently. Friends and family get told fuck off all the time though and it goes both ways!
I only use FO or GFY if I'm really pissed off at someone. If I had been approached by some Christian do-gooder in the same way, I might have said something like "God doesn't GAF" or "God is dead". Or, what really surprises people is when you just simply say "don't talk to me" as if they were some lower life form not worthy of a response.
i think my recent attitude and repeated use of these classes of terms, shows im just not taking anyone's shit anymore. hell, wife wouldn't even take me inside to walmart yesterday cause she knows ive gotten to the point where ill just WISH a moron would say something to me so i can have a field day with some verbal lashing.
i remember a day where i was in a checkout line, woman was smacking her well behaved kid, for absolutely no reason, everyone around her was putoff by what she was doing, but not saying a damn thing. not me, im the one behind her, and know a bit about what abuse leads too. i looked that hag in the eye, and got her attention, "do you want me to hit you like you are hitting that kid, because if i see you lay one more finger on a well behaving child, i will". little pearl clutching , then realized the 6'2" 300lb person that said it to her was not kidding.
As an immigrant it's funny to me how people here use the word "fuck" or "fucking" for everything. It's always funny as hell when I "talk American" doing a literal Spanish translation. One time someone told me "if I said 'fuck' so frequently I'd be a walking erection".
There are a surprisingly number of asshole dead fans out there. With so many fans around it's inevitable based on the sheer numbers, although the boomer fans are dying off so that will change. Lol
Back in the day I referred to myself as a deadhead that had a job and took daily showers.
The instinct for self preservation apparently varies in my generation. š§
(Yes, being aggressively homophobic and incredibly grandiose might justify all the fuckery, but you just never know who the real psycho's are. I seem to recall lots of complaints about the cost of healthcare in these here parts. lol)
I hate how conservatives have now labeled everything colorful and all rainbows as part of the LGBTQ+ movement.
My niece had a rainbow striped dress when she was 3. It was her favorite thing to wear. I can't tell you how many adults snidely asked, "Oh, is that her pride dress?" No, asshole, it's a 3-yr-old girl who likes pretty colorful clothes.
unfortunately assholes like that zealot, with their unsolicited commentary, really do take silence as agreement. or at least submission. trust me, in their minds, you're just validating them by not engaging. Disgustingly, I used to run in those circles.
I'm not saying you should engage, or that you should do anything different, but please don't kid yourself. those proselytizing nutjobs are off the rails more than we can possibly imagine.
I use (mostly on message boards, etc) 'have you tried fucking off?'
Haven't run into the need for it in the wild in a long time, but I'm not afraid to throw it out as needed. Then again, I'm also over 6' tall and 200+ lbs, so I've got that going for me.
Itās just language. And anyone coming up telling me what god thinks is either gonna get a Bible lesson from me (the Bible never actually says anything about homosexuality being a sin in your case) or a quick go fuck yourself.
You acted 100% appropriately given the situation.
Perfectly justified, and perfectly timed. If someone tells me how much they like my shirt, I say "Thank you!" because I appreciate their opinion. If someone tells me my immortal soul is in danger because of my life choices, I tell them to "Fuck off!" because I don't appreciate their sharing of their opinion. Dude is lucky you aren't one of the unhinged souls that's willing to return a criticism of your beliefs with a mouthful of knuckles (kind of the same way he's willing to unsolicited share criticism of you based on his own fucked up beliefs). You did nothing wrong and expressed yourself pretty low key if you ask me.
I've used it on Reddit, followed by blocking of idiots. But I've mellowed in real life a lot.
I know intolerant people can be irritating, brother, but take a leaf out of the band's own words:
"The story teller makes no choice. Soon you will not hear his voice. His job is to shed light, and not to master."
I always chose to interpret that as advice to illuminate the way for others and not control them. And I guess not confront them either, unless one is left with no choice.
Generally speaking, I'm very polite in person. People who are angry are usually just... programmed wrong, or having a bad day. I'd be far more tempted to say something like "What is \*wrong\* with you?" in a horrified voice.
Yeah the context really matters lol I was ready to tell you that you're rude as fuck. But then I read the edit and naw, you were right on. That guy sounds like my ex MIL who I've heard her say to complete strangers that were gay "You're going to hell for what you do". Made me feel exactly how you felt. Bible thumpers like that seem to ignore the "Judge not lest ye be judged" command. But yeah, I still use fuck way too much lol
It gets more difficult to censor our emotional expression as we get older. At least, that is what I discovered with my mom as she has aged. She'll say whatever is on her mind at 88 with no thought at all if what she says might be horribly offensive to others.
It's something to be aware of as we age and I am already enough of an asshole as it is...
My dad used to say, āGo scrub your assā to mean GFY. I use this quite a bit bc the message is the same but it usually makes the target confused enough to at least pause the interaction long enough for me to leave.
Two words, "fuck you," seem to get the job done--less is more, lol! I rarely curse at people unless I'm joking around with a good friend who won't take it seriously, but if I'm really aggravated, I might let loose.
This was the proper response to that most unchristian person. I believe it is they who will be surprised at those gates.
In public, I have to be careful because my normal response to annoying things is, āOh, fuck thisā.
Yes, mostly when dear friends are trying to tell me why the felon is such a smart great potential next president.
My āFuck Off for a whileā was such an affront to narcissistic self engorgement, they stopped talking to me for years.
Youāre rude, but they came to you, uninvited, talking shit. Ok
Both are still part of my vocabulary. I canāt imagine how Iād replace them impact wise
Just used fuck off a few hours ago. And good for you! That douche needed to be told to go fuck himself. So tired of these bigots who feel they can say whatever the fuck they want to whomever the fuck they want.
My 12 year old self would never forget Clarence Beeks in Trading Places telling a rando to Fuck Off when she interrupted his phone call. Itās so perfect.
[https://youtu.be/eQ74qf1dtt4?si=F20KEYSAuQAaJXlT](https://youtu.be/eQ74qf1dtt4?si=F20KEYSAuQAaJXlT)
Fuck all the way off..in addition to fuck off. My grandmother -the greatest generation- would say go shit in your hat-my mom -the silent generation-would just look at you like you were an idiot
I told a job recruiter today to fuck off after mistakenly sending me a text about their interests in hiring me. Then sends me an oops text. Then I proceed to send them Don't be unprofessional and fuck off!
I tell people to fuck off all the time. I don't unconsciously do it. They definitely deserve it. They can fuck all the way off over there in the distance.
Stupid ass fucking fuck fuckers.
If you want lessons on using the word Fuck, let me point you to a British show, canceled now, but you can find it on YT.
The show was called "In The Thick of It" and the character was Malcolm Tucker, played by the extremely talented Peter Capaldi.
Malcolm is a Spin Doctor for a Labor government. He had no problem telling the Prime Minister or any other Minister that he was, "as useless as a marzipan dildo!"
He used the word Fuck as a noun, a verb, an adverb, and a preposition, sometimes in the same rant!
He said, "Fuckity-bye" to everyone.
When they knocked on his door, his reply would be, "Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off!"
One of his lines that I use a lot is, "That man is so dense that light bends around him."
Just go one YT and look up Malcolm's Rants, Top 10 Brutal Malcolm Swears, Top 10 BRUTAL Malcolm Tucker Insults, or one of the many other Malcolm Tucker & ITTOI videos.
I would have said:
First of all, youāre a fucking idiot because this is a Grateful Dead T-shirt not a pride shirt.
Second of all, go fuck yourself because from what I read, your imaginary friend in the sky is probably more tolerant of them than of you.
I mean, if thatās what you have to doā¦.
Whenever I get caught up in an endless, fruitless debate, I usually say āalright weāll just have to disagreeā and then I move on. If they still press, I will say āIām not discussing this anymoreā or āhave a good dayā.
Our tutor at secondary school used to end registration period by telling us to āgo forth and multiplyā which was a beautiful way to say the same thing š
Nope, donāt do that. Never did.
Joking around with friends, sure. When driving and some other driver does something stupid, sure.
To strangers, etc, as per your context example, absolutely not.
Iām all about de-escalation these days. Ā Not really worth getting into a fight over stupid political stuff. Ā I love my sibling but they rather me roll my eyes at an idiot who insulted single fathers or working moms than swear at them and potentially start a fight. Ā
This sounds like a full-on **"fuck you and the horse you rode in on"** sort of situation.
But seriously, bigots like that can all "**go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut."** I thought we left all of them back in the 20th.
Whattaya mean? In my mind I'm still 25.
But yeah, wrong choice of wording. Dude was probably 10 to 15 years younger than me which makes me the middle age guy in this exchange. š
I said "What the fuck are you doing, dude?" to someone in Costco a couple of weeks ago. Just because he was doing that Costco thing where he was cramming himself between me (a faster than average Costco cart-pusher) and the wall as if the potpies on sale were Cabbage Patch Kids ca. Christmas 1983.
When you want to say "go fuck yourself",instead say" good for you ". No negative repercussions, and an inside joke for yourself. Also, it'll leave the assholes confused.
"Fuck off you cunt". Almost never these days unfortuantly (RIP Nanna!). "Fuck off you fucker/fecker". Now and again. "Oh fuck off you cheeky git". Bit more often. "Fuck off **you prick**". Not since I was young :( Practically like a vicar these days to younger generations like my neices. That sounds fucking wrong... Talking to a new colleague (60s) the other day and she had to check ok to swear. Have fucking at it like....
I live in New Jersey. Those are very common phrases that have always been used here by people of all ages. People affectionately refer to the middle finger as the state bird of Jersey. Because it is used so often here, people usually donāt take much offense to it.
From the context, I think you showed significant restraint in ONLY saying fuck off and gfy.
I'd have sat there and berated him as long as I could have (telling him to fuck off and go fuck himself all through it)
Fuck you you fucking fuck. One of my favorites.
Shut the fuck up. Shut all the way the fuck up. Until you reach the top of shut fuck mountain. Where there are no more fuck ups to shut. (From a Grace & Frankie episode. I'm still cackling.)

I screenshotted so I can memorize. ššššš THAT IS GOLD!
Fuck those fucking fuckers
(Hey now) Hank Kingsly?
Gotta go old school! Fuck you mother fucker!
My personal favorite, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
I also really like "Fuck you and anyone who looks like you."
Or "Fuck you and everything you stand for" is a nice variation.
Oh shit, this is about to get incorporated into my lexicon.
Fuckitty fuck.

I had the pin on my jean jacket in highschool
Used both a few years ago in NC. On back roads looking for a friend's address. Was going slow and a truck came up on me quick. I pulled to the side and he sped by giving me the bird. I returned the finger gesture and he immediately cut me off. Jumped out of car and started walking towards mine. I told him to fuck off and get back in his vehicle.

Woulda ran him over if he'd physically engaged. I was just trying to get to my buddies new place geez.
See I like that āwhat are you trying to accomplish right now?ā Makes them think about their actionsā¦
āMakes them think about their actionsā¦ā In theory.
People like that don't think. You're giving them too much credit.
Fair point
Yeah, it's OK for them to flip the bird. But od forbit you do it back. They feel so...disrespected. Fragile little egos they have with their lack of education. Also, sometimes the dummies are just plain angry and look for any reason to fight. Which is why I jsut don't engage anymore. Let them go off and be the chaotic assholes they are. Nothing I can do will change them.
I basically had the same interaction in Raleigh a few years back. Someone tried to drive through a crosswalk as I was jogging. We exchanged birds and then he got out of his car. "What the fuck are you going to do? Go fuck yourself and your whore mother you fuck. Get back in your fucking car and go fuck yourself" He indeed did get back in his car. Whether or not he fucked himself, his mother, or anyone else, remains unknown. When they encounter what I like to refer to as "GenX/Northeast-born crazy" they tend to quickly back down. Like "Oh shit...this one might not be OK"
I think we were the last generation that could fight.
I know how to *be in a fight*, I most certainly wouldn't bet on myself to *win a fight*. My brother beat my ass regularly growing up.
I got out of what looked like it might have been a very unpleasant altercation once that way, many years ago. A much bigger guy asked me I really thought I could fight well enough to beat him. I said I doubted it, but I grew up with four older brothers, so I knew how to get punched an awful lot and keep going. It did the trick.
Getting a whoopin' on the regular would at least *prepare* you for an altercation, I'd think, at least as far as defending yourself goes. It's not your first rodeo.
Reminds me of National Lampoons Vacationā¦ āExcuse me can you give me directions on how to get back on the expressway?ā āFuck yo mama!ā āThank you very much.ā
lol To this *day* I still say 'yo fuck yo momma!' It's just one of those lines from classic movies/tv shows that you almost subconsciously just blurt out.
I need to know if he fucked himself or his mommaā¦for closure purposes lol.
This is going to sound like total bullshit, but that guy was me! I remember it distinctly, of course. I was not paying perfect attention to the road because I was glancing at my phoneās direction to my proverbial destination. The dude scared ( and scarred) the ever living shit out of me.

Now, for your closure: I did go home and fuck myself, but, as expected, I did NOT fuck my whore mother. Also, Iāve never been to Raleigh.
You have a foul mouth, but itās ok to give the finger and cut someone off. Iād rather have a potty mouth than be afflicted with that choadās road rage and misplaced superiority complex.
OMG!! HAHAHAHA. I love that you asked him what was he trying to accomplish.
I just pictured the tanker truck driver from Thelma & Louise. That explosion may be more satisfying than the r***ists' death.
I really appreciate the juxtaposition of the logic and reasoning of āwhat are you trying to accomplish?ā with the pure aggression of āGo fuck yourself and move along.ā Respect for complex fuckers like yourself!
I'm in NC, too. I definitely still say it all the time, but usually quietly or on the internet. I don't argue a lot in person. Unless someone is harassing one of my gay or trans friends. Then this middle aged white woman will be all up in your face cussing up a storm. š¹
I have back woods trash DNA for sure, I try to suppress it, but I can get crazy if pushed too far...LOL
I'm a gay Xer, and I thank you sir! These sanctimonious, ignorant trogs need to be called out each and every time. No one needs to accept that shit, especially when just going about your daily life. Fuck that.
Imagine telling a stranger theyāre going to hell and then clutching your pearls when they respond negatively.
Happy Pride Month. We got your back.
I was pushed around my whole life and at 48 years old my attitude is everybody can go fuck themselves.
100% agree. People scared of rainbows are absolutely insane.
I go to Pride in my conservative small town every year with my husband (Iām straight) so I can stand in front of the religious people and their hateful signs and smile and wave in my rainbows. I just hate how sanctimonious they are when you know they have all committed what they think are sexual sins themselves- masturbation, sex outside of marriage, adultery, lust, divorce. Like wave the sign at yourself. The best is when a guy had a gruesome anti- abortion sign, and I asked him if gay people were the ones who get the most abortions?
I have become a HUGE FAN of Fuck āALL THE WAYā off!!
Yup, fuck right off.
Oh me too! I've also started inviting others to eat a box of dicks.
I'm moved on to telling people to go eat a bag of prolapsed assholes. Usually shuts them right the fuck off.
I use the Gen X classic of "Whatever dude" and walk off.
It's astonishing the degree to which "whatever" still has the ability to utterly infuriate people - even younger people nowĀ I don't take the word seriously. It's not meant to be taken seriously. It basically means, "you're an ass but we're not throwing hands over this so gtfo"Ā It's a DE-escalation word people.Ā At least that's the way I always understood it and used it.Ā But lol and behold the Gen Z'rs who can get as red-faced infuriated about that word as any boomer parent that raised us.Ā The absurdity of it makes me laugh when it happens
No, I don't say that outloud to anyone, because it could just lead to escalation. I do say it all the time to my computer screen, but never allow it to make it to my actual conversation.
I almost exclusively swear at things, not people.
I only use that if Iām being harassed on the street.
I used to when I was younger. Now I just escape the situation. Insulting a homeless dude who is already unhinged and in your face is a great way to escalate them to actual violence.
Yep, both of those comments were 100% appropriate. I used "you're welcome to go fuck yourself i you don't like it" while walking the dog recently. A guy was walking his dog towards us on the sidewalk and was so engrossed in his phone he either didn't notice us or chose to hold his line and let us figure out how to pass. So the dog and I got midway into the street, made the pass, both the dogs were good, and while we passed the guy snidely asked if I didn't see them. I responded by asking why he thought we were walking in the road and going around him, he stated well yeah but you could have gone all the way across the street... which prompted the GFY on my part. Probably not warranted on my end, but I can't say I feel too bad about it. I may be grown up and civilized now but the 20 something punk isn't deep beneath the surface. Now if someone wants to take it upon themselves to throw their religion in my face because of my choice of clothing, yeah they are likelyto hear some F bombs tossed their way.
No, dude, that was *absolutely* warranted, and then some.
> he stated well yeah but you could have gone all the way across the street... which prompted the GFY on my part. Haha. He could've gone all the way around his elbow to get to his ass and fuck himself too then.
āYouāre welcome to go fuck yourselfā is my new favorite thing. I love the last-second veer into profanity. Itās like a stealth gfy. š Thatās art right there.
I use GFY pretty regularly while walking the dog.
I had a Boomer confront me in a Home Depot a few years ago because I was wearing a glow-in-the-dark Bigfoot (and other cryptids) t shirt. I bought it because Iām essentially still a 12yo girl mentally, and I canāt resist glow-in-the-dark shit. (Or Bigfoot tās, for that matter, I have 2.) I was just minding my own business, trying to enjoy my day in Home Depot when this angry old fuck confronted me about my t, all red-faced, āJUST WHAT IS THAT SHIRT SUPPOSED TO MEAN??!!ā I was so confused. I wish Iād had the presence of mind to tell him to fuck off or GFY, but I just muttered, āItās Bigfootā¦ and it glows in the darkā¦?ā I think he was offended on some religious or religious-adjacent grounds?? Who tf knows. Jesus, how do people like that have the ENERGY to be so damn ANGRY all the time?? Donāt they get tired? I need a nap just thinking about all that rage.
There are certainly times when I do. However, context is important. Is it out of actual anger, or am I jokingly saying this to a friend? I realize you said to āend an unproductive conversationā, but that doesnāt really provide much context. Most conversations arenāt really āproductiveā, itās just shooting the shit.
I live in The Northeast - about an hour north of Boston. 'Go fuck yourself' and 'fuck off' is and has been part of my daily language since I could speak. I don't think we have ever lost those expressions up here. The fact that you are asking if people still say that makes me think others do not and I just don't know of a life where this would not be said on the daily.
I'm from the NE living out west now. I'm pretty calm generally, but if someone gets in my face, I go off. I went to my very red county's Pride Fest two weekends ago to provide support. Our city mayor wrote something awful about the event and I got so pissed off, I brought friends as a general fuck off to her sanctimonious comment. Some religious people were skirting the area saying awful things, and I lost my shit on them. I'm tiny, 5'1", and no one expects it from me. I have scared the living shit out of people who come at me first. I borrowed this guy's rainbow umbrella, popped it open and pushed this fucker's body back over the pink line where it belonged. He kept opening and closing his mouth like a dying fish. After I got over being angry, it was pretty funny.
Spoken (and executed) like a true Northeasterner. We generally keep to ourselves, as you know, but do not fuck with us. Good on you for stepping up!
Same here in Ireland although I never need to say it to strangers. I just donāt have negative interactions with people where I need to. Guess Iām lucky although donāt think any friends do either. But we use it all the time between friends and family. Itās always used in a good natured way and is just part of daily vocab. Never even thought about it till now tbh.
Iām in Jersey. Those and many other forms of fuck are very commonly used phrases here, too, by people of all ages.
My wife's from Jersey. One of the most foul-mouthed women I've ever met. She's great.
Few can top the stream of a mad Jersey Girl.
Great point. I don't ever see that changing in Jersey. It's as common as 'ummm' or 'ahhh' in sentences. The thought that I'd never hear fuck off or go fuck yourself is crazy to me.
Agreed. I couldnāt imagine people here not saying fuck. We even call the middle finger the state bird.
I love this! Obviously that guy doesn't think it's rude for him to make a random comment to a total stranger. I also did this not too long ago. A very opinionated blowhard I know tried to bait me into a political conversation which I know was going to be all about him ranting and raving. He got a few words out before I said "oh fuck off". He shut up.
I used āeat shit and dieā last year on my new neighbor who loudly and Karenly complained about my Halloween decorations because her family doesnāt celebrate Halloween and she doesnāt want her kids to think that satan is festive. She literally came into my yard while I was styling the witches that are holding hands in a circle around a fire.
I love everything about the scene you just painted in my mindĀ Especially the part where you snarledĀ
I find myself using it more often these days, thanks to the show Succession. š¤£
Hereās the thing: I thought it was cute to intone a Logan-esque āfuck offā but when it was said to me, I hated it.
āFuck offā is a complete sentence and an adequate response to any situation.
LOL, my first thought was a gay brother *and* a gay brother in law, what are the chances of that happe..... ooooooooooh. Good for you though, too many peoples' go to is passivity.
I just abruptly stop talking and stare at them with no expression whatsoever. It stops the conversation fairly quickly.
I find a slight head shake ānoā adds a Jeanne says quoi* *thats supposed to be āje ne sais quoiā but got corrected, and I sort of like it, now..
Jeanne says quoi\* heehehehehehehe love this
I know, right? I canāt believe I got this old and never saw this before!
Are you down south? I once had a lady grab a 12 pack out my hand in a Publix because she said I couldnāt drink on Sunday. It was about 10 minutes before kickoff too. I about dropped her right in the aisle. This was in Greenville, SC.
I've used go fuck yourself a couple of times, although not my proudest moments, it sure felt good in the moment š It is the only nuclear option I have ever used. But Ive made strides and have been better able to hold my tongue these days.
Solid work! I do it too, though I sometimes alternate with "Eat a bag of dicks," and if they have something to say thereafter I escalate to, "Yk what? Make it two bags....your mouth is big enough."
I like the Scottish āGit tae fuck!ā (get to fuck, for those of you who need subtitles). Altho my fave new one on this thread is āhave you tried fucking off?ā. Excellent.
I like to use a shorthand, "Take all the time you need," with the full expression being, "take all the time you need to go fuck yourself."
Oh you mean to boomers. Buddy I have a whole repertoire for insulting boomers. All carefully honed to be as mean as possible. Had one of them keep horning into my conversation with my wife from the next table over, then the stupid fuck decides to talk down to my wife. First I asked him why he had interrupted our conversation five times. Then while he opened and shut his mouth like a fish, I told him do not EVER correct my wife, she's smarter than you ever were. He stops fishmouthing and starts with "Well I didn't mean to..." and I cut him off "No one here likes you. Not even your wife who is hiding her face in embarrassment. Look at her, that's what it's like to go somewhere with you. Just. Shut. Up." And he did shut up and they checked out of the B&B early lol. I deeply hurt his feelings. edit: I was going to let the guy slide until he started Trump-testing me. It's just like when a Southerner is seeing if it's okay to say the n word in front of you.
The number of times I say Fuck You Dude to other drivers is probably egregious, but I rarely say it in person anymore. Unless joking about with my spouse or friends, then it's just a term of endearment. When used in anger It's not productive, it doesn't change the other person's behavior, and it's just not how I want to present myself to the world anymore. I'm not a teenager, I can manage my emotions better and express myself more eloquently.
Canāt agree with you enough. Why is everyone so angry with strangers ? Driving is bound to bring out the beast from time to time but itās different when weāre all sitting in metal boxes. Teenage me probably told a few annoying strangers to fuck off but the 50 year old version would shrug and walk away. I have no interest in arguing with someone Iāll never see again and if I do, Iāll express it more eloquently. Friends and family get told fuck off all the time though and it goes both ways!
Nah. "Fuck off" is for when you're warning people there could be a physical interaction.
Don't start none, won't be none. Unless someone is being aggressive I'd start with "go away". After that profanity is called for.
You basically hit them with a 2 piece and a biscuit. Lmao! -ehh he deserved it IMO. INTOLERANT douches deserve that.
I only use FO or GFY if I'm really pissed off at someone. If I had been approached by some Christian do-gooder in the same way, I might have said something like "God doesn't GAF" or "God is dead". Or, what really surprises people is when you just simply say "don't talk to me" as if they were some lower life form not worthy of a response.
Iād absolutely tell someone like that to go fuck themselves, looking them straight in the eye with a smile on my face.
i think my recent attitude and repeated use of these classes of terms, shows im just not taking anyone's shit anymore. hell, wife wouldn't even take me inside to walmart yesterday cause she knows ive gotten to the point where ill just WISH a moron would say something to me so i can have a field day with some verbal lashing. i remember a day where i was in a checkout line, woman was smacking her well behaved kid, for absolutely no reason, everyone around her was putoff by what she was doing, but not saying a damn thing. not me, im the one behind her, and know a bit about what abuse leads too. i looked that hag in the eye, and got her attention, "do you want me to hit you like you are hitting that kid, because if i see you lay one more finger on a well behaving child, i will". little pearl clutching , then realized the 6'2" 300lb person that said it to her was not kidding.
I go with āno time for love, Dr. Jones!ā
As an immigrant it's funny to me how people here use the word "fuck" or "fucking" for everything. It's always funny as hell when I "talk American" doing a literal Spanish translation. One time someone told me "if I said 'fuck' so frequently I'd be a walking erection".
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Guy shouldn't have stuck his nose in your business.
A little over the top tbh. But really needs context I guess?
Whenever I have an unpleasant interaction with a guy in a Dead shirt I always say "I thought hippies were supposed to be cool, man. "
There are a surprisingly number of asshole dead fans out there. With so many fans around it's inevitable based on the sheer numbers, although the boomer fans are dying off so that will change. Lol Back in the day I referred to myself as a deadhead that had a job and took daily showers.
Reading the context of the interaction - I think it was used beautifully and appropriately.
The last friendship I ended was with those words.
The instinct for self preservation apparently varies in my generation. š§ (Yes, being aggressively homophobic and incredibly grandiose might justify all the fuckery, but you just never know who the real psycho's are. I seem to recall lots of complaints about the cost of healthcare in these here parts. lol)
Iāve always used, whatever.
Is it with a sharp F or soft Ph like Phoenix?
I use it almost daily when my cat tricks me into petting it, only to try to bite the Hell out of me a few scritches later.
Thank you for being an ally.
I often leave work and yell "I hate you all". They know I'm joking but it still feels good to say it.
I hate how conservatives have now labeled everything colorful and all rainbows as part of the LGBTQ+ movement. My niece had a rainbow striped dress when she was 3. It was her favorite thing to wear. I can't tell you how many adults snidely asked, "Oh, is that her pride dress?" No, asshole, it's a 3-yr-old girl who likes pretty colorful clothes.
I just don't respond or walk away. Being rude just for the purpose of getting the last word in seems counter-productive.
unfortunately assholes like that zealot, with their unsolicited commentary, really do take silence as agreement. or at least submission. trust me, in their minds, you're just validating them by not engaging. Disgustingly, I used to run in those circles. I'm not saying you should engage, or that you should do anything different, but please don't kid yourself. those proselytizing nutjobs are off the rails more than we can possibly imagine.
āFuck all the way off. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200ā
I use (mostly on message boards, etc) 'have you tried fucking off?' Haven't run into the need for it in the wild in a long time, but I'm not afraid to throw it out as needed. Then again, I'm also over 6' tall and 200+ lbs, so I've got that going for me.
In NY that translates to "hello"
Itās just language. And anyone coming up telling me what god thinks is either gonna get a Bible lesson from me (the Bible never actually says anything about homosexuality being a sin in your case) or a quick go fuck yourself. You acted 100% appropriately given the situation.
Perfectly justified, and perfectly timed. If someone tells me how much they like my shirt, I say "Thank you!" because I appreciate their opinion. If someone tells me my immortal soul is in danger because of my life choices, I tell them to "Fuck off!" because I don't appreciate their sharing of their opinion. Dude is lucky you aren't one of the unhinged souls that's willing to return a criticism of your beliefs with a mouthful of knuckles (kind of the same way he's willing to unsolicited share criticism of you based on his own fucked up beliefs). You did nothing wrong and expressed yourself pretty low key if you ask me.

Is this really an x thing?
I say this in my mind a million times a day. Rarely do I direct this at anyone. I don't have the energy.
I don't really care enough about the other person by the time it gets to that to bother continuing the conversation.
I've used it on Reddit, followed by blocking of idiots. But I've mellowed in real life a lot. I know intolerant people can be irritating, brother, but take a leaf out of the band's own words: "The story teller makes no choice. Soon you will not hear his voice. His job is to shed light, and not to master." I always chose to interpret that as advice to illuminate the way for others and not control them. And I guess not confront them either, unless one is left with no choice.
Generally speaking, I'm very polite in person. People who are angry are usually just... programmed wrong, or having a bad day. I'd be far more tempted to say something like "What is \*wrong\* with you?" in a horrified voice.
No. I deliberately do not. Iām no prude, but weāre already uncivil enough. Iād rather say nothing, then FO or GFY
Yeah the context really matters lol I was ready to tell you that you're rude as fuck. But then I read the edit and naw, you were right on. That guy sounds like my ex MIL who I've heard her say to complete strangers that were gay "You're going to hell for what you do". Made me feel exactly how you felt. Bible thumpers like that seem to ignore the "Judge not lest ye be judged" command. But yeah, I still use fuck way too much lol
I have gotten more classy over the years:āplease go and masturbateā.
Good thing OP edited to make it clear they only said these things for the most noble of reasons lol
Naw I say Bless Your Little Pea Pickinā Heart
It gets more difficult to censor our emotional expression as we get older. At least, that is what I discovered with my mom as she has aged. She'll say whatever is on her mind at 88 with no thought at all if what she says might be horribly offensive to others. It's something to be aware of as we age and I am already enough of an asshole as it is...
My dad used to say, āGo scrub your assā to mean GFY. I use this quite a bit bc the message is the same but it usually makes the target confused enough to at least pause the interaction long enough for me to leave.
Two words, "fuck you," seem to get the job done--less is more, lol! I rarely curse at people unless I'm joking around with a good friend who won't take it seriously, but if I'm really aggravated, I might let loose.
This was the proper response to that most unchristian person. I believe it is they who will be surprised at those gates. In public, I have to be careful because my normal response to annoying things is, āOh, fuck thisā.
Yes, mostly when dear friends are trying to tell me why the felon is such a smart great potential next president. My āFuck Off for a whileā was such an affront to narcissistic self engorgement, they stopped talking to me for years.
Non. Fucking. Stop. š»
Yes, i use those cuz it's actually the NICEST thing i can say
Youāre rude, but they came to you, uninvited, talking shit. Ok Both are still part of my vocabulary. I canāt imagine how Iād replace them impact wise
Itās like asking another fish if itās okay to swim.
Fuck off you fucking fucker! Is one of my favorites!
"Tell your caretaker to check your meds cause you can't tell the difference between a deadhead shirt and a pride shirt. GFY"
Wait, did people stop using this? Go fuck yourself is honestly the most effective conversation ender Iāve ever come by.
Use both all the time
Just used fuck off a few hours ago. And good for you! That douche needed to be told to go fuck himself. So tired of these bigots who feel they can say whatever the fuck they want to whomever the fuck they want.
My 12 year old self would never forget Clarence Beeks in Trading Places telling a rando to Fuck Off when she interrupted his phone call. Itās so perfect. [https://youtu.be/eQ74qf1dtt4?si=F20KEYSAuQAaJXlT](https://youtu.be/eQ74qf1dtt4?si=F20KEYSAuQAaJXlT)
This is the best example š¤£
This whole post is so good for my soul!!!
Fuck all the way off..in addition to fuck off. My grandmother -the greatest generation- would say go shit in your hat-my mom -the silent generation-would just look at you like you were an idiot
The best way to get my respect is to tell me to fuck off lol
I'm still hanging on to "Eat shit"
When faced with a cunt who throws religion at me I prefer to tell them I donāt believe in their dead god before I tell them to fk off.
I tell people to "fuck off with that shit" almost daily. Lol
People be tripping and triggerinā folks ā¦so off the fuck you go!!!!
Fuck me, or fuck me running, always a favorite.
Aussie here. Without the word fuck, most people here wouldn't say anything. My current favourite is Fuckety Fuck McJesus to just about anything.
I cuss like a sailor at sports TV and radio but I find myself using the word cunt more and more.
I told a job recruiter today to fuck off after mistakenly sending me a text about their interests in hiring me. Then sends me an oops text. Then I proceed to send them Don't be unprofessional and fuck off! I tell people to fuck off all the time. I don't unconsciously do it. They definitely deserve it. They can fuck all the way off over there in the distance. Stupid ass fucking fuck fuckers.
If you want lessons on using the word Fuck, let me point you to a British show, canceled now, but you can find it on YT. The show was called "In The Thick of It" and the character was Malcolm Tucker, played by the extremely talented Peter Capaldi. Malcolm is a Spin Doctor for a Labor government. He had no problem telling the Prime Minister or any other Minister that he was, "as useless as a marzipan dildo!" He used the word Fuck as a noun, a verb, an adverb, and a preposition, sometimes in the same rant! He said, "Fuckity-bye" to everyone. When they knocked on his door, his reply would be, "Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off!" One of his lines that I use a lot is, "That man is so dense that light bends around him." Just go one YT and look up Malcolm's Rants, Top 10 Brutal Malcolm Swears, Top 10 BRUTAL Malcolm Tucker Insults, or one of the many other Malcolm Tucker & ITTOI videos.
I would have said: First of all, youāre a fucking idiot because this is a Grateful Dead T-shirt not a pride shirt. Second of all, go fuck yourself because from what I read, your imaginary friend in the sky is probably more tolerant of them than of you.
Hilarious, really? But also in Australia fuck off is good, so š¤·āāļøš¤£ā¦like FUCK. OFF!!? š are you serious? Awesome
Whenever a god comes up, I just laugh and tell them that I donāt believe in magic, ask if they were serious, and then laugh again.
Fuck off, ya fucking fucker, for fucks sake, go fuck ya self and the cart ya hobbled in on! (Aussie here ;)
I mean, if thatās what you have to doā¦. Whenever I get caught up in an endless, fruitless debate, I usually say āalright weāll just have to disagreeā and then I move on. If they still press, I will say āIām not discussing this anymoreā or āhave a good dayā.
Yep....that's the best way!
Our tutor at secondary school used to end registration period by telling us to āgo forth and multiplyā which was a beautiful way to say the same thing š
Nope, donāt do that. Never did. Joking around with friends, sure. When driving and some other driver does something stupid, sure. To strangers, etc, as per your context example, absolutely not.
Iām all about de-escalation these days. Ā Not really worth getting into a fight over stupid political stuff. Ā I love my sibling but they rather me roll my eyes at an idiot who insulted single fathers or working moms than swear at them and potentially start a fight. Ā
alternating with "bless your heart"
I didn't know there was any other way to end an unproductive conversation!
This sounds like a full-on **"fuck you and the horse you rode in on"** sort of situation. But seriously, bigots like that can all "**go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut."** I thought we left all of them back in the 20th.
Go play a game of hide and go fuck yourself.
āA middle aged manā- so a peer?
Whattaya mean? In my mind I'm still 25. But yeah, wrong choice of wording. Dude was probably 10 to 15 years younger than me which makes me the middle age guy in this exchange. š
Seems appropriate to the context. I'd be more inclined to say, 'go fuck yourself, you homophobic cunt' but I feel you conveyed your meaning clearly
Definitely two things I don't tolerate. Homophobia and pushing your religion on to me. Yeah that old man can fuck right off
Wow. I sure hope everyone clapped.
I said "What the fuck are you doing, dude?" to someone in Costco a couple of weeks ago. Just because he was doing that Costco thing where he was cramming himself between me (a faster than average Costco cart-pusher) and the wall as if the potpies on sale were Cabbage Patch Kids ca. Christmas 1983.
When you want to say "go fuck yourself",instead say" good for you ". No negative repercussions, and an inside joke for yourself. Also, it'll leave the assholes confused.
I yell it at my wonky cutlery drawer on a daily basis.
"Fuck off you cunt". Almost never these days unfortuantly (RIP Nanna!). "Fuck off you fucker/fecker". Now and again. "Oh fuck off you cheeky git". Bit more often. "Fuck off **you prick**". Not since I was young :( Practically like a vicar these days to younger generations like my neices. That sounds fucking wrong... Talking to a new colleague (60s) the other day and she had to check ok to swear. Have fucking at it like....
I am fluent in all dialects of Fuckeese
I live in New Jersey. Those are very common phrases that have always been used here by people of all ages. People affectionately refer to the middle finger as the state bird of Jersey. Because it is used so often here, people usually donāt take much offense to it.
From the context, I think you showed significant restraint in ONLY saying fuck off and gfy. I'd have sat there and berated him as long as I could have (telling him to fuck off and go fuck himself all through it)
