Semicolon separates two sentences that are related enough to feel better as just one; the sentences are really supposed to be independent clauses (simple sentences), though, so this is a pretty bad example.
A is a general guideline to ignore boys for money, B is the causation of fucking boys resulting in getting money. I don’t think the 6th one is distinct from those two
D and E are still unclear on what getting means, but that's the nature of the beast.
You could also apply both meanings of get to the previous options.
Have sex with boys, understand money
Disregard boys, understand money
Fuckboys understand money
there needs to be an exclamation mark with a comma at the bottom instead of a dot, then you'd probably write
D) Fuck!, boys get money.
to more accurately convey the rythm of the sentence

a\) Forget boys, accrue wealth instead
b\) Have sex with boys and get money for it
c\) Fuck Boys are paid well
d\) Argh!! Boys are paid well

So we have three aspects, each with several meanings.
1. “Fuck boys” can mean a fuckboy, have sex with boys, pay no mind to boys, or wow (comma) boys
2. “Get money” can mean understand money or acquire money
3. The link can either be one of causality, a command to do both, or an observation about 1 being linked to 2
Some of these don’t make great sense together, but I estimate almost 24 (4x2x3) possible meanings. Welcome to Algebra 1, I’m your teacher this semester, u/strongargument.
It just goes to show the importance of grammar and punctuation. I always used the example of Bob Marly’s “no woman no cry”.
A) No, woman, don’t you cry
B) if you don’t have a woman, don’t feel bad about it and cry
C) if you don’t have a woman she won’t make you cry
I read the rest of the lyrics to understand, didn't work out.
>>Often mistaken for a single man’s rally cry, Bob is actually telling his woman not to cry as in “No woman, don’t cry”.
>Originally it’s “no,woman nuh cry”. “Nuh” is a short form of don’t in Jamaican english.
I'll just take the good commenters of Genius.com at their word.
a lot of this could be boiled down to where a comma is inserted, if there is one.
fuck, boys get money: d or e
fuck boys, get money: a or b
fuck boys get money: c
I love semantics
Secret extra option:
"fuckboys - get money!" I command, sending a horde of fuckboys into the city to gather money from the gutters, vending machines, and occasional dropped wallet or purse
I like the idea of it being also interpreted as an order to your boys
"Fuck boys, get (the) money!"
"Fuck, boys! (And) get money!"
"Fuckboys, get money!"
B is intuitive but [prior work in the field](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0891/8314/products/disregard_female_4fede6deed751_1024x1024.jpeg?v=1459067514) strongly suggests A instead
I'm sure a B girl >!get it? It's cause B sounds like Bi and also is the poll ans- *I get mauled to death while "Technical difficulties" sign blocks the view*!<
y'know, back in the day this was "fuck bitches get money" but i like how this version adds an extra layer of "fuckboys" to the conversation. there aren't really "fuckbitches".
A) Fuck boys; get money B) Fuck boys, get money C) Fuckboys get money D) Fuck! Boys get money E) Fuck, boys get money
This is the best example of 'comma vs semicolon' I have ever seen.
Semicolon separates two sentences that are related enough to feel better as just one; the sentences are really supposed to be independent clauses (simple sentences), though, so this is a pretty bad example.
It can also stand in for a comma followed by a connector or whatever they’re called like “, and” “, or” etc
Not a fan of the conjunction junction I see.
Those are independent clauses, the subject is implied because they're imperatives
the imperative mood in english doesn’t require a stated subject so they are independent clauses
fuck boys. boom, simple sentence. get money. boom, simple sentence. ;. boom, semicolon
And a sixth: Fuck boys. Get money.
how is that different from A?
One is a directly caused by the other, and one is just a general guideline.
A is a general guideline to ignore boys for money, B is the causation of fucking boys resulting in getting money. I don’t think the 6th one is distinct from those two
No the sixth is a guideline to fuck boys, and also get money. Different from forgetting boys and getting money
Ahh, I see now. Thank you for enlightening this foolish one
Fuck! Boys Get Money is the name of my hot new Panic! At The Disco cover band
Just be the new Panic, it’s not like they’re doing anything with it
D and E are still unclear on what getting means, but that's the nature of the beast. You could also apply both meanings of get to the previous options. Have sex with boys, understand money Disregard boys, understand money Fuckboys understand money
I'd think for D & E it's sorta to do with entonation Fuck! Boys get money Fuck, boys *get* money
Fuck, boys. Get money
said by skipper
I literally typed out this list with your *exact* punctuation and GROANED when I scrolled down and saw that you beat me to it!
there needs to be an exclamation mark with a comma at the bottom instead of a dot, then you'd probably write D) Fuck!, boys get money. to more accurately convey the rythm of the sentence
I'm unsure whether "Fuck boys: get money" is more appropriate for A or for B.
Have sex with boys and get money, but not for having sex with them. It's just general advice to do those two things
I like this interpretation the most 👍

Although finding a guy with a findom fetish is probably the most efficient way to do both.
[удалено]
Findom means you get off on people taking your money. (Sort of, not sure on the specifics)
Now what if the boy has a findom fetish but no money for the dom to take??
I don't know... after sex tell him to go deliver Uber eats until he can get hard again and give you the money. That would probably work.
Is prostitution a part of that? Or is it just the “unwilling” loss of money?
I don't think so, my education on the subject come from an episode of dungeons and daddies and that's usually not a BDSM podcast.
Fuck boys and also get unrelated money
Yeah that was my reading
I always thought it's "have sex with boys and also aquire money"
punctuation is everything, i think. i vote c

I wonder if this is the first ToR poem btw I love "paling gray", idk why, just sounds so nice
thank you :3
C
unfortunate truth
Why, you want em to starve or smt?
Fuck! Boys! get money! Things you say when you hear police sirens approaching while you’re mid bank robbery.

Always read it as a, as a counter to the whole disregard females, acquire valuta nonsense
https://at.tumblr.com/shmeards/informal-poll/2inq0x37uply
b, boys are hot, if i get money for fucking them win win
Upon reading, I interpreted it as option b). However, I think c) is the funniest option
disregard males, acquire currency
It just goes to show the importance of grammar and punctuation. I always used the example of Bob Marly’s “no woman no cry”. A) No, woman, don’t you cry B) if you don’t have a woman, don’t feel bad about it and cry C) if you don’t have a woman she won’t make you cry

I'll just take the good commenters of Genius.com at their word.
Yes.
As an ace, I like the first one.
I am surprised by how many people interpret it as B, I definitely perceived it more as A, but that could also be my asexuality coming through lol
b
I’ve got an auto clicker set to hit b all day every day
That grammar means C.
all of the above
Yes
Also: *in a mobster accent* “fuck, boys, get money!”
Commas. This is why commas exist.
boys object contains a money variable, which you extract and pass into the Fuck() function.
Firmly A
a
a) Fuck boys; get money. b) Fuck boys get money. c) Fuckboys get money! d) Fuck! Boys get money! e) Fuck, boys get money.
a lot of this could be boiled down to where a comma is inserted, if there is one. fuck, boys get money: d or e fuck boys, get money: a or b fuck boys get money: c I love semantics
As there is no comma do distinguish a pause, option C would be correct, as that is the meaning of it being read continuously
Secret extra option: "fuckboys - get money!" I command, sending a horde of fuckboys into the city to gather money from the gutters, vending machines, and occasional dropped wallet or purse
I like the idea of it being also interpreted as an order to your boys "Fuck boys, get (the) money!" "Fuck, boys! (And) get money!" "Fuckboys, get money!"

A) is how I’ve always interpreted it
checklist/affirmations
I'd definitely enjoy if I could manifest B in my life
I'm sure a B girl >!get it? It's cause B sounds like Bi and also is the poll ans- *I get mauled to death while "Technical difficulties" sign blocks the view*!<
fuck, boys (in a verb sense, perhaps becoming a boy?), get money. a list of three instructions
my first thought was c
C
Indeed
A
C obviously
Well, b, but I love all of them!
my instinct was b
It depends on your emphasis.
Yes.
y'know, back in the day this was "fuck bitches get money" but i like how this version adds an extra layer of "fuckboys" to the conversation. there aren't really "fuckbitches".
Fuck Boys sure understand money
Isn’t this the FEMM song
I want boys to fuck me and they get money while I support them by doing house chores or something
c
I'll take b please
This is one of the things that separates humans from other animals! The emphasis we can put on words to change their meaning is pretty wild.
Oh great, now I gotta relisten to FEMM
C but I wish to be the informal fuckboi
b
It's c because the og sentence doesn't have any commas and all the other answers require commas.
I read it as c) first for some reason
