Look at them straight in the eyes and say, with a serious face: Interesting you should say that: do you know the etymology of the word "fuck"? Fuck is an English word which, when used literally as a verb, means "to engage in sexual intercourse". It is generally considered to be an offensive profanity. It is unclear whether the word has always been considered vulgar, and if not, when it first started to be considered vulgar. Some evidence indicates that in some English-speaking locales it was considered acceptable as late as the 17th century meaning "to strike" or "to penetrate."[1] Other evidence indicates that it may have become vulgar as early as the 16th century in England, although neither set of evidence is inherently contradictory to the other, since many words have multiple connotations. The word became increasingly offensive over time because of its usage to describe (often in an extremely angry, hostile or belligerent manner) negative or unpleasant circumstances or people in an intentionally offensive way, such as in the term "motherfucker," one of its more common usages. Fuck is used not only as a verb (transitive and intransitive), but also as a noun, interjection, and, occasionally, as an expletive infix. The etymology of the word is uncertain. Sources such as the Oxford English Dictionary contend the true etymology of fuck is still uncertain but appears to point to an Anglo-Saxon origin. The first known occurrence, in code, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, "Flen flyys", from the first words of its opening line, "Flen, flyys, and freris"; that is, "Fleas, flies, and friars". The line that contains fuck reads "Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk". Removing the substitution cipher on the phrase "gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk" yields "non sunt in coeli, quia fvccant vvivys of heli", which translated means "they are not in heaven because they fuck the wives of Ely" (fvccant is a fake Latin form).[2] The phrase was coded because of its meaning; it is uncertain to what extent the word itself was considered acceptable. Other possible connections are to Latin futuere (almost exactly the same meaning as the English verb "to fuck"), (hence the French foutre, the Catalan fotre, the Italian fottere, the Romanian fute, the vulgar peninsular Spanish follar and joder, and the Portuguese foder). However, there is considerable doubt and no clear lineage for these derivations. These roots, even if cognate, are not the original Indo-European word for to copulate; that root is likely *h3yebh-, ("h3" is the H3 laryngeal) which is attested in Sanskrit (yabhati) and the Slavic languages (Russian ебать (yebat'), Polish jebać, Serbian јебати (jebati)), among others: compare Greek "oiphô", and Greek "zephyros" (noun, ref. a Greek belief that the west wind caused pregnancy). However, Wayland Young (who agrees that these words are related) argues that they derive from the Indo-European *bhu- or *bhug-, believed to be the root of "to be", "to grow", and "to build". [Young, 1964] Spanish follar has a different root; according to Spanish etymologists, the Spanish verb follar"(attested in the 19th century) derives from fuelle ("bellows") from Latin folle(m) < Indo-European *bhel-; ancient Spanish verb folgar (attested in the 15th century) derived from Latin follicare, also ultimately from follem/follis. A possible etymology is suggested by the fact that the Common Germanic fuk-, by an application of Grimm's law, would have as its most likely Indo-European ancestor *pug-, which appears in Latin and Greek words meaning "fight" and "fist". In early Common Germanic the word was likely used at first as a slang or euphemistic replacement for an older word for intercourse, and then became the usual word for intercourse. Then, fuck has cognates in other Germanic languages, such as Middle Dutch fokken (to thrust, copulate, or to breed), dialectical Norwegian fukka (to copulate), and dialectical Swedish focka (to strike, copulate) and fock (penis). There is perhaps even an original Celtic derivation; futuere being related to battuere (to strike, to copulate); which may be related to Irish bot and Manx bwoid (penis). The argument is that battuere and futuere (like the Irish and Manx words) comes from the Celtic *bactuere (to pierce), from the root buc- (a point). Or perhaps Latin futuere came from the root fu, Common Indo-European bhu, meaning "be, become" and originally referred to procreation. By the time you have finished that, they should have no more to say....LOLOL

If someone is telling you to fuck off, it's probably not a good idea to push it by being a smart ass and try to get the last word in. Start trying to be clever and the next thing they throw at you will be a fist!! Just walk away..

No, let's F**k on! lol

cherrio carry on

Nothing - it get's um every time

It depends on the situation. It's 10 times harder when a family member or good friend says this because there's a lot more emotion and depth behind this sentiment. Whereas if a stranger or insignificant associate says it to you, you can shrug your shoulders and it will bounce off harmlessly. This is a very touchy subject. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind M.K.G. or anger for anger leads to no peace.

I will, later tonight. What business is that off yours?

Only time someone ever said that to me was when my girl was crying & i tried to talk to her. I just hugged her when she said that lol, it was cute kinda. "Fuck OFF!!! >.<"

Don't say a word walk off ... why lower yourself to their sub standard level you are much better silence is your best defence against a moron ...

If it comes from a good looking girl trying to play a bad wild smart bitch...you may say..."I take a rain check for that"...

Say "All right then", and walk away.

&quot;When somebody says fu*k off, what can be the best reply be? or what would you say?" AFTER YOU!

Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon? Really though, I wouldn't say anything at all. I'd just smile and walk away. Let them deal with that.

Ill say get f**ked then walk quickly away so I dont have to hear their reply. If Im in a really bad mood I will knock the piss out of the and carry on about my buisness.

Nothing. I don't care.

&quot;lets get it on... but first, can i get sum more alcohal? you aint hot enough yet!" works for me all the time... after all, beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder!

I already did. and it was fabulous! thank you very much

Well, there's nothing you can do really soo errr I'd kill 'em.

As Monty Python said in the "Life of Brian" 'How shall we f*ck off, Messiah?'

&quot;not till im ready pal" then finish telling them off :)

Ladies and gentleman, its the 3rd annual f*ck off and . . . we have a WINNER!

I tend to reply sarcastically that I have to desire to have sex with them.

Don’t piss me off - I’m running out of places to hide the bodies!

I would say "who is off"?

&quot;It's better than being F#cked on"

Nothing at all. I tend to not waste time and energy on people with such limited vocabularies and such vulgar manners. Why bother? Where is that conversation going to go? Nowhere useful I am sure.

say "what,... again ?" and walk away

Id probally say Charming!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I don't speak french"

when people say that to me i normally say'' when, where, how hard?''

Say nothing. Do nothing. Otherwise it acknowledges the person who is either totally ignorant or just looking for attention.

I would respond with a smile ok thanks and just ignore them

Back away and say: I'm rubber you're glue An' whatever you say Bounces off of me An' sticks to you. then stick out your tongue....

Do I fu-king know you, whats your problem?

i think one should say "right after you" or somthing along those lines

Depends on the sitch but I sometimes point out that that's what people say when they've lost.

Do exactly that. Have nothing more to do with them. I don't associate with ignorant people.

&quot;Sigh, okay...*sob*"

f**k off yourself

I would say "no thanks,i've had better offers" or "save up your money!"

addition to 09applemic's "and only a lightswitch away!"

I would be so embarrassed I'd ignore them and pretend I didn't hear them; and walk in the opposite direction. Or I might just say right back at you!!

I would laugh at them and state that I pitied them for their limited intelligence.

Oh, dear. Have I upset you by any chance.

I say 'I love you too!' My response always leaves them baffled I than walk off.

best reply...lets have it then! i would say with a straight face NO!

&quot;Don't threaten me with a good time".

I would smirk like the smug, sarcastic, literate I can be and make a cool comment on their oh-so-eloquent speach and then criticize their lack of proper education and rant on-and-on about society and blah blah blah. Hey, it's mean, but you know they deserve it. It'll teach them a lesson, plus it's great stress relief on my part. :]

Pretend to cry. It will make them feel bad...and then when they try and comfort you...look them straight in the eyes and say "Fuck you"

I would tell them to shut the f**k up and to eat a fUc*n d**k

You talking to me cock breath!

Yes, but I lined your mother up as a replacement.

Say, No Thanks because thats the one thing I dislike about you because thats all you ever do is F_ _ k off and I do not ever want to be like you.

God Bless you and then walk away. Been there done that!! In His service, <:))))<>< "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21

Stick your hand down the front of your pants roll your eyes back and moan then look at them and say "OK what next?"

Assumption: The situation that led to this was not instantiated by the person being told to "Fxxx Off" - i.e. by nagging/pushing buttons/bullying/etc. From personal experience: I believe that the best approach is "self-control" without expanding any negative energy - if possible. I find this a lot more empowering and satisfying than spiraling down with the person in a shouting match - but it does take awareness and "practice"... 1. Coming from a stranger: take a deep breath and mean: "God bless you", or blow them a soft kiss - not cynically. I have seen this approach "diffuse" the situation and catch people off guard, plus it is much more satisfying than getting angry. However, if this is too difficult, at least leave - don't tolerate abusive behavior in any shape or form. 2. Coming from an adult you know: if you can stay very calm, say firmly that you can see/understand that the person is angry and needs space but that you do not tolerate that anyone speak to you that way. Then leave the situation. 3. Coming from a child, it may be useful to let him/her know that it is very inappropriate and hurtful to say anything (not just insults) in anger and to encourage them express the true source of frustration - after they cool off. You may be surprised at the result. Self-control exposes the other person to a different kind of response than the one they choose and also preserves you from spiraling in negativity.

&quot;Do it for me"

Only if your Mom's up to it.

Well..I do live about 38 miles from Philly...so I suppose the correct response would be..."You talkin ta ME? Are YOU talkin ta ME?" This would, of course, be after I've observed all possible exits...and open directions of relative ESCAPE and done a mental inventory of what possible equalizers I might maybe have on my person, or within reach.

&quot;Talk to the hand, you Retard!"

I would say. Not in the mood to fu*k right now. I have said that and people just look like, what did you just say?

You want to don't You

I just say fuuuck you and walk away before they can respond. Gives off a who cares vibe and pisses them off more.

Hump their leg.

I would tell them it is spelled with a "c" not a "*".

Is off any good in bed?

Eat Shit & Die

the best reply is to say good bye. People with such attitude are not worth arguing with.

just say 'no'

You fucking fuck..!!

It depends, if it was just somebody on the street then igore it and walk away!! If it was a malicious work mate, then make it look like they are the one with the problem by staying composed. Tell them that they shouln't bring their problems to work and that they probaly need to talk to someone to work out their issues. Unless they apologise, don't have much to do with that person anymore and be happy that you're not the one with such an awful nature.

I know you are but what am i.

FUCK OFF

put him in a head lock and tell him to appoligize

Your Mam!!!lol Thats what all the Cork Boi's say lol

Tell them to fuck themselves.

go un-fu*k yourself.

say 2 you're a dirty ginger and then slap him with a wet oily fish then walk of

my response would be to look at my watch and smile sweetly and say "gosh, I don't have time right now but thanks so much for the offer". I have, in fact, used this very line in the exact situation you describe!

make me

Sadly, it depends on who says it to me and where I am. I am not stupid, therefore my answers and responses vary depending on whether my life hangs in the balance. Ha ha ha!! If I perceive myself to be in no immediate danger then I generally say something equally insulting in turn like, "I don't know about off but when I do f**k, it certainly won't be with your sorry/ugly/worthless/etc. ass". Or it could be a simple "bite me" or even worse...which I won't print. When I know the remark was said in retaliation of my actions that have already pissed them off I usually turn and start laughing at them and then say something like, "oh my God!! F**k OFF?! Oh No!! Not F**k off? Holy Sh*t! Now I'll never be the same again!! How could you say such a thing to me?!" then laugh some more as I walk away. If my life is seriously in danger, then I probaly will keep my mouth shut, take their "advice", and "F**k off" quite quickly!! ha ha ha!

you coff

WELL I WOUL DBE LIKE, WHO ME? JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN, WHERE AND WHATTIME?

Is that an invatation?

Ok.

&quot;Now aren't you a big deal with you're little curse words. You need some therapy" then walk off.

I Will If You Will.

u first

If that's really the best they can come up with, nothing.

perhaps then you should just leave them be.

&quot;hell yeah, i'd brutally fuck you up, down, left, right and center"...lol

say sorry i dont do that in public....unless you do i mean its a free country

You like travelling? you like sex then F/O yourself.

Golden rules: 1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one. 2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough. 3. Have a plan. 4. Have a back-up plan, because the first plan probably won't work. 5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet. 6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with at least a '4.' 7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive. 8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral & diagonal preferred.) 9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. 10. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours. 11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose. 12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance,or tactics. They will only remember who lived. 13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to shoot.

No thank you, Sir. Good Day.

say "I love you" and them kiss them on the cheek.

Reply... YOU WISH! haha

I would say "thank you for the asterisk! :)

F*ck on. Screw on. Screw off. Thank you. I love you, too, baby. Does that mean you want me? You too, buddy. Just some ideas I have. :)

Grrrr Baby.
