fuck you
What does “fuck you” mean in English?
It's a direct way to show contempt or anger towards someone. It doesn't literally mean anything sexual despite the words used.
Often used confrontationally, similar to telling someone to 'screw off'. It carries a strong emotional weight and is informal, so it's not suitable for polite conversation.

Swear Atlas is a source-attested, AI-curated reference — not a native-speaker-certified dictionary. Meanings and the 1–5 Burn Rating are approximate editorial assessments that vary with context, region, tone and speaker. Inclusion of a word does not constitute endorsement of its use.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
