Fuck You.

“Fuck you” is one of those wonderful sayings that is so very versatile and has many uses and meanings behind it. According to my substantial knowledge on the subject, it came into use about 8 years ago(possibly sooner) when I learned of this magical phrase and the rest of the world suddenly began using it as well. It is often used as an insult of sorts but I much prefer to use it jokingly and out of context. For example, a new way of using this phrase has reared its head and is quickly gaining popularity. It is being used to
Fig A.
punctuate ideas or responses and while it makes little sense when used it is quite effective, and hilarious. I refer to this as “because fuck you” and would now like to point your attention to Fig. A. which is displaying said usage.
There are of course other ways of expressing the fucking of specific others, many of which are friendly. If a friend were to throw a water balloon which proceeded to hit you square in the face, a reasonable response would be to laugh and say “fuck you, man”. However, if a complete stranger threw said water balloon at you, the expected response would be “fuck you, man” without the laughter. This is an important distinction because they aren’t your friend and therefore does not deserve your laughter. Then, of course, there is the use as an exclamation though this is still somewhat directed towards others. If one were to jump from a cliff into water some hundred feet below, the preferable course of action would be to jump, spin around mid air, and when about 5 feet out and 5 feet down yell out “fuck you” to the people still on the cliff. It is optional, though encouraged, to let the “you” trail off while you fall with the splash used to punctuate your exuberance.
