Another thing I don't get --

What's with telling someone you don't like, disagree with, or are angry at "Fuck you!"?  I mean, I'm not gonna fuck someone if I don't like them.  I'm gonna NOT fuck them.  Fucking is fun, and I don't want them to have that much fun, especially not with me!  So why am I gonna tell someone I'm aggavated at to have fun?


Same with "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke".  If they don't have a sense of humor, why would I waste time with them?

Yeah, when I had a bad falling out with a certain fairly well known transvestite at a certain faire over horribly a-social behavior (he wanted to come to the holiday party at the house, so I was telling him what was basically required) the incredibly articulate email reply I got was "Go fuck yourself."

My, how elegant. *snort* As if I needed his permission to masturbate.

It proves the versatility of the word.

Probably a holdover from the days when the only meaning of "fuck" was "to hit."

I've been told that angry sex is fantastic. I'm not interested in finding out, because when I'm angry, my libido goes through the floor.

Somebody I wouldn't want to have sex with once explained to me that "men fuck, girls get fucked" (which is one of many reasons I wouldn't want to have sex with this person). In that context, "fuck 'em" is essentially a misogynist insult - it suggests that the person to be fucked is feminine or passive, a bottom. Cf. "if you're a man having sex with another man and you're on the bottom, you're a fag, but if you're on the top, it's just sex", which is to say, half of the recorded insults of classical Rome.
