# To go to hell, to disappear, to screw oneself.

How are these even remotely related? It needs a rewrite but I can't touch it. I wouldn't know what to do with it. Could someone please revise the defintion? Davilla 06:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC) you can settle a bit now.Goodbizz (talk) 21:38, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

The lexical ambiguity of a word or phrase pertains to its having more than one meaning in the language to which the word belongs. So the phrase "fuck off" can mean in a sentimental way "no way dude" but also in anger with disdain to negativity towards oneself "get the fuck out of here" or fuck off in a nut shell.by Goodbizz (talk) 21:37, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

It being a phrase widely used across the globe can have so many levels and and sentiments it has in its own right its own ambiguity.

No way!

In the UK and Ireland at least, "fuck off!" can also mean "no way!", i.e. "I don't believe you!".
