In case you are wondering: if somebody tells you to "go fuck yourself" he doesn't literally want you to do that.


If someone tells me in person to "go fuck yourself," fine, that's a normal turn of phrase in my neck of the woods. "Please kill yourself now" is going to lead to an immediate knuckle sandwich, though, unless I don't have the balls to do it. I will try to make an exception to this if it happens when I'm travelling in Europe.


Not that it would be bad, if you did, though.
