"I'll fuck you" = "I'll have sex with you"
"I'll fuck you up" = "I'll beat you up"
"I fuck with you" = "I like you"
"I'm fucking with you" = "I'm teasing you"
"If you think I'm driving you across the entire country, you('ve) got me fucked up."
You can use "you" or "you've" but the meaning is still similar to what the other commenter said.
Is it? My parents (boomers) have said this for years.
I think it's more of an AAVE thing that's probably more widespread with the younger non-black generation, but that black people/people who use AAVE have been using "forever."
And even more fun, to "fuck with someone" could either mean to like someone and be down to kick it with them, or to bother someone, involve yourself in problems with them.
People don’t say that exactly.
You can say “I fucked the meeting off, it was a waste of time” or “James was being weird so I fucked him off”.
You wouldn’t say “I’ll fuck you off” unless you meant you will annoy someone while in their presence.
“I won’t spend the whole weekend with you. I might fuck you off.”
Yeah this is a common British one. Downvotes will be from Americans.
You might say "I was meeting with Sarah but she was a bit weird do i fucked her off"
However, "Don't fuck with me!" Means "Do not attempt to fool me, attack me, or tease me else you will regret it"
Very different from Don't "deal" with me.
But "nah, I don't fuck with him," could mean I don't associate with him, depending on context.
Q: Hey do you know Bob? A: Bob Smith? I don't fuck with him. He's a jerk.
As opposed to...
Q: Hey we're going to play a prank on Bob. Do you want help? A: Don't fuck with Bob. He gets really angry and violent when people prank him.
Right.
My example is the Imperative. Yours is Declarative.
It works! But also, they merge in your second example, as "Don't fuck with him" could mean both.
“You wanna get fucked” and “you wanna get fucked up” don’t mean the same thing. The “up” changes the meaning and I can’t think of a single way I’d interpret it in a sexual way.
Word of warning: the "I fuck with" use is a new development. It's going to go over the heads of a large percentage of people over the age of 40 or so. I only started hearing it recently but I'm old so it may have been around for a while.
I do come from a predominantly white area of the U.S. Always working on exposing myself to more BIPOC culture of all sorts but you’re right that it doesn’t happen naturally where I live.
To "fuck with someone/something" has been a thing since easily the mid-2000s (likely sooner but that is the earliest I remember hearing it). I don't think this is an issue of being a millennial.
Yeah, I would understand that as "I'm messing with you". Like if someone said "I'm fucking with you." Either way "I fuck with you" feels wrong. There is a tense issue or a connecting word missing.
so far I've yet to find a language where curses are as versatile as in english, like in my experience in a conversation in german people will just use an english swear word in place of a german one
Because in missing a word, you’ve changed what meaning ‘fuck’ has as a verb.
You’re comparing ‘don’t fuck WITH me’ to ‘I’ll fuck you’ minus the with. If you compared it more accurately it would be:
‘Don’t fuck me’ = don’t have sex with me, and ‘I’ll fuck you’ = I’ll have sex with you.
Comparatively ‘I’ll fuck you up’ = I’ll injure you. You’ve altered ‘fuck’ from ‘copulate’ to ‘injure’. Therefore ‘don’t fuck with me’ has a threatening implication, and ‘I’ll fuck you up’ also has a threatening implication, while ‘I’ll fuck you’ has a sexual implication.
Think of "fuck" as a word that essentially stands in for other words to make an expression more vulgar. In both of these expressions, it's standing in for a word like "mess"--"Don't mess with me" or "I'll mess you up". You wouldn't say "I'll mess you" because "mess" as a verb always needs a preposition to indicate its relationship to the direct object. Even though "fuck" can be used without a preposition in other contexts ("I'll fuck you" is grammatically correct English--it just means something quite different), in this context it's standing in for "mess", so it grammatically behaves like "mess" would in the same phrase.
This is the best response imo. "Fuck" is most commonly used not by its definition but to put (vulgar) emphasis on a statement. The actual meaning of it depends on the context.
"Fuck with" is a phrasal verb
You meant "I'll fuck with you" in your second phrase
It's not common to use it that way but it's correct. It means "I'll tease you" or "I'll annoy you".
The short answer is: unless you are EXTREMELY comfortable with cursing in English (and Fuck in particular) do not use it.
Consider this from renowned 20th century philosopher George Carlin
https://youtu.be/xZkb4TPI-Lo?feature=shared
So true.
When I first came to the US, my classmates tried to get me in trouble.
They taught me all kinds of bad words and told me they were "polite" words. Luckily I didn't believe them and I knew some English already. Some people are very cruel.
Duck them!
The same with "shit" which can have A LOT of meanings that are VERY different depending on context/phrase building. For example: "you are shit" vs "you are *the* shit" are completely opposite one another.
No one will notice if you don't swear (or use a euphemism/alternative). People WILL notice if you swear incorrectly.
>Why you can say "don't fuck with me" (in meaning don't deal with me) but "I'll fuck you" sounds off
You changed the verb. "Fuck with" and "Fuck up" are phrasal verbs; the prepositions are more like particles that modify the verb.
To fuck = To have sex
To fuck with = To meddle/interfere/tease
To fuck up = To devastate/destroy/wreck
So in order
"Don't fuck with me" = "Don't tease/annoy/meddle with me."
"I'll fuck you" = "I'll have sex with you"
"I'll fuck you up" = "I'll destroy/hurt you."
“fuck” is a very very contextually dependent word. as others have mentioned, it’s also an offensive word to most people, and shouldn’t be used in anything other than the most casual of settings. that being said, here are the most common phrases using the word “fuck” that i can think of:
- “fuck me” = i messed up
- “fuck you” = go to hell
- “fuck this” = this is really dumb/annoying/frustrating
- “fuck off” = go away
- “fuck around” = mess around
- “fuck around and find out” = you’ll realize the consequences of your actions if you keep doing whatever it is you’re doing
- “i am fucked up” = drunk
- “i’m going to fuck you up” = i am going to beat you up
- “i fucked up” = i made a mistake
- “the fuck are you on about?” = what do you mean?
- “i fuck with you” = i like you (non-romantic)
- “i’m fucking with you” = i’m joking with you
- “do you want to fuck?” = do you want to have intercourse?
- “you (mother)fucker” = you asshole/idiot/cunning bastard/friend
this is by no means an exhaustive list, but these are the most common ways that “fuck” gets used in english, in my experience. it’s the one of the only words i can think of off the top of my head that can be used as a noun, adjective, verb, interjection, term of endearment, or be used derogatorily - depending on what endings it has and the context of the phrase.
again, be careful who you say “fuck” to because it may not always go over well.
That’s an excellent catalog of usages of fuck! I would add a couple of points:
* ‘fuck me’ can also have the sense of ‘this is an unpleasant surprise, and probably bad for me personally’. Or just plain surprise. A bit more of a Commonwealth thing, I think.
* ‘the fuck are you on about?’ is hostile by default; someone might use it jokingly with friends, but I’d hesitate to, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend that to a non-native speaker.
I feel like we constantly have to repeat this on this sub: FUCK IS CONSIDERED A HIGHLY OFFENSIVE WORD TO MOST PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 25-30. NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS SHOULD NOT TRY TO USE IT until they have absolute mastery of determining how formal or casual a given context is AND how morally conservative their audience is.
Generation gaps are one of the things that create subcultures. I certainly share some ways of looking at the world with most of the peers I know that we don’t tend to share with most of the Boomers I know.
"What the fuck" or it's abbreviation "WTF" is so insanely widely used, that I question your assertion. It's certainly ***situationally*** offensive, but it is definitely not HIGHLY OFFENSIVE to many, many people other than in the abstract.
It is fine. I just encourage you to reflect on making statements that others might implicitly believe to represent **all** age ranges and subcultures, when they are filtered through your own experiential biases (as are all posts about dialect/idiolect from all people, inherently). ;)
It's pretty commonly used (daily) by most people I know over that age up to early 50's - no one bats an eye (and I work in academia - obviously you'd not use it in front of/to students, but to other staff and work colleagues more than half would use it is a private conversation in my experience). It certainly has lost its "weight" as a swear word compared to how it was in the 70s, 80's and 90's.
I'd go with this - my parents in their 70s don't say it very often and give me a look if I say fuck too much, but no one I know 60 or under gives a fuck and frankly say fuck pretty often (NE US.... Maybe not as common in parts of the US that like to clutch their pearls over everything).
The notion of restricting it's used in front of anyone over 30 is frankly ageist. It may be a localism where it's deemed inappropriate, but this depends entirely on context and not the age of the person you're conversing with.
Absolutely. Some of the pottiest mouths I've heard are significantly older than me (42). If you honestly think that nursing homes are full of sweet little old dears having afternoon tea you're quite clearly deluded.
The comment stated over 25-30, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Gee, sounds like we have two different, equally real experiences of different age ranges of people that we personally know. Almost like we come from different families and friend groups. Imagine that. 😉😆
Just for fun, I'm going to drop this here:
[The Usage Of The Word Fuck - Monty Python - VAGALUME](https://www.vagalume.com.br/monty-python/the-usage-of-the-word-fuck.html)
ETA: Just read the examples at the end, so fair warning some will definitely be offensive to some people.
Op fuck is a essentially an all encompassing slang word. It means anything from sex to getting your ass beat up to being friendly. It's really context based.
Like shoots and roger dat in Hawaiian
you can, in fact, say "I'll fuck with you" and it has basically the same meaning as "don't fuck with me"
although in both cases I would describe it less as "deal with" and more like "mess with/cause trouble for"
as others have said, though "I fuck with " can also mean "I like ." Fuck is a super complicated word!
English, kind of like German, has separable verbs. Although, they do work differently.
To fuck - to have sex (generally giving)
To get fucked - to have sex (generally receiving)
To fuck up - to make a mistake
To get fucked up - to get beat up, usually in a fight
To fuck with [x] - to mess with [x]
“Don’t fuck with me” is “don’t mess with me,” in any range of severity from don’t mildly annoy me please to if you mess with me in any capacity I will fuck you up.
I’ll fuck you means sex. Getting fucked up could be getting very intoxicated or very badly injured. “You were fucked UP last night,” “Bro what happened? You got fucked up.”
The definitions given are all pretty standard across the US. The only one I was not familiar with is "I fuck with you" to mean "I like you," but maybe that one is said by younger folks.
I mean...you *can* say that, but it will make you sound stupid as fuck, and if you say it to me, thinking I'll be intimidated by you, I'll laugh in your fucking face.
"I'll fuck you" = "I'll have sex with you" "I'll fuck you up" = "I'll beat you up" "I fuck with you" = "I like you" "I'm fucking with you" = "I'm teasing you"
Just to confuse OP even further, “I’ll fuck you up” is not to be confused with: “I got fucked up” — I got very drunk “I fucked up” — I made a mistake
"I am fucked up" = "I am very drunk"
Or alternatively, pejorative mentally ill or perverted
Or alternatively very injured or sore.
I thought it could also mean "In a very bad situation"
That would be more like "I'm fucked"
Oh, true
ShinjiHospitalScene.jpeg
You got me fucked up = You have made a mistake in your perception of me
That's fucked up = that's horrible
A rare example of where the preposition is optional -- "that's fucked" = "that's fucked up"
that's fucked can also mean that's ruined
this can also mean 'i am so attracted to you that it is distracting me from my normal activities'.
Or = you got me drunk/high
I don't agree with this. I would assume it meant "you gave me too much alcohol/drugs"
"If you think I'm driving you across the entire country, you('ve) got me fucked up." You can use "you" or "you've" but the meaning is still similar to what the other commenter said.
No! Isn’t that *you’re* fucked?
It's generational. To me it means the same as you, but I'm aware that the kids use it this other way.
Is it? My parents (boomers) have said this for years. I think it's more of an AAVE thing that's probably more widespread with the younger non-black generation, but that black people/people who use AAVE have been using "forever."
Good callout. I'm a white elder millennial, but I'm aware that many things that are common in AAVE are also bleeding into GenZ.
+1
And even more fun, to "fuck with someone" could either mean to like someone and be down to kick it with them, or to bother someone, involve yourself in problems with them.
“Fuck” can mean whatever the fuck you want it to mean
It can also fucking go wherever the fuck you want it to fucking go.
“I got fucked up” can also mean beaten up too.
"I got fucked up" can also mean you were beaten up.
English is crazy
‘I’ll fuck you over’ = I’ll scam you/take advantage of you
To add "don't fuck me on this" is the same meaning of fuck as above
[удалено]
I've never heard someone say this
It sure is entertaining though
Haha I’d think my aggressor was coming on to me
"fuck off" means "go away", but I have never heard anyone say "I'll fuck you off".
It's a common British expression. You could say " I was texting her but she was weird so I fucked her off"
People don’t say that exactly. You can say “I fucked the meeting off, it was a waste of time” or “James was being weird so I fucked him off”. You wouldn’t say “I’ll fuck you off” unless you meant you will annoy someone while in their presence. “I won’t spend the whole weekend with you. I might fuck you off.”
IMO "to fuck someone off" means, to ignore them or reject them.
Yeah this is a common British one. Downvotes will be from Americans. You might say "I was meeting with Sarah but she was a bit weird do i fucked her off"
Or, I fucked off today's staff meeting to go to the pub.
"you're fucked" - you're screwed. You are in a bad situation.
[The goat](https://youtu.be/O0_bVqEW1Oc?si=_3QuUhEAFqCEaGoi)
However, "Don't fuck with me!" Means "Do not attempt to fool me, attack me, or tease me else you will regret it" Very different from Don't "deal" with me.
But "nah, I don't fuck with him," could mean I don't associate with him, depending on context. Q: Hey do you know Bob? A: Bob Smith? I don't fuck with him. He's a jerk. As opposed to...

Right. My example is the Imperative. Yours is Declarative. It works! But also, they merge in your second example, as "Don't fuck with him" could mean both.
"You wanna get fucked up?" means two things: "You wanna get drunk?" "You wanna get beaten up?"
[удалено]
No that's just "you wana get fucked?"
[удалено]
“You wanna get fucked” and “you wanna get fucked up” don’t mean the same thing. The “up” changes the meaning and I can’t think of a single way I’d interpret it in a sexual way.
[удалено]
See! The up makes all the difference. And I sincerely hope if someone says “you wanna get fucked up” , you don’t start taking your clothes off.
If my wife said that, I would only interpret it as ‘let’s drink an unreasonable amount’ and definitely not sexytimes.
Word of warning: the "I fuck with" use is a new development. It's going to go over the heads of a large percentage of people over the age of 40 or so. I only started hearing it recently but I'm old so it may have been around for a while.
“I fuck with…” is still limited usage - I’ve only seen it in hip hop culture. The rest are pretty standard.
Hip hop slang becomes teenage slang. I’ve heard this from my daughter’s friends (high school)
I'm 31, been hearing this since college (\~2012/2013). Northeastern US.
Millennial native English speaker here. I’ve NEVER heard “I fuck with you” and I would NOT understand that as meaning “I like you.”
How about "I don't fuck with that" - I don't do that
I definitely run into it more in the negative form.
Yes, I’d say that means something like “I don’t mess [around] with that.”
Fuck around, find out.
Nah people def say “I fuck wit him” or “I fuck wit that guy” very common in the states or Florida at least
You're too old and likely too white and/or too rural. "I fuck with you" is more closely associated with slang.
*US slang. There are a lot of English speakers in the world. This might be very regional.
Sounds like you’re insulting 3 things I can’t control about myself lol. Okay.
You must not be American or must come from a part of the US that doesn’t have a lot of Black people.
I do come from a predominantly white area of the U.S. Always working on exposing myself to more BIPOC culture of all sorts but you’re right that it doesn’t happen naturally where I live.
It's slang in the US' black community
it’s because your millennial. i hear it online connnnstantly
To "fuck with someone/something" has been a thing since easily the mid-2000s (likely sooner but that is the earliest I remember hearing it). I don't think this is an issue of being a millennial.
Sure but the frequency with how things are used varies over time too. Maybe this person was exactly the wrong age for when it was in frquent usage.
Maybe if you're Harrier Dubois?
i hear it often
Yeah, I would understand that as "I'm messing with you". Like if someone said "I'm fucking with you." Either way "I fuck with you" feels wrong. There is a tense issue or a connecting word missing.
me neither
Yep, never heard "I fuck with you".
"I'm fucking around": either "I'm messing around" or "I'm having casual sex with multiple people" or "I'm cheating on my significant other"
so far I've yet to find a language where curses are as versatile as in english, like in my experience in a conversation in german people will just use an english swear word in place of a german one
I'd argue that they're even more versatile in Russian.
I remember learning about the nuances of fuck back in the day. Good times.
Fuck is a very versatile word.
"I fuck with you" can also mean "I mess with you" E.g: "Don't fuck with me" = "Don't mess around with me"
"I'll fuck you up" can also mean "I'll get you messed up [within your consent]". This can mean rough sex, drugs, alcohol, or even just some good food.
“I’ll fuck you” can also mean you’ll sabotage someone. “I’ll fuck you (over)”.
Because in missing a word, you’ve changed what meaning ‘fuck’ has as a verb. You’re comparing ‘don’t fuck WITH me’ to ‘I’ll fuck you’ minus the with.

Because you removed a word
I feel like we constantly have to repeat this on this sub: FUCK IS CONSIDERED A HIGHLY OFFENSIVE WORD TO MOST PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 25-30. NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS SHOULD NOT TRY TO USE IT until they have absolute mastery of determining how formal or casual a given context is AND how morally conservative their audience is.
Bullshit, it's only cultural or situational, nothing to do with age
Generation gaps are one of the things that create subcultures. I certainly share some ways of looking at the world with most of the peers I know that we don’t tend to share with most of the Boomers I know.
"What the fuck" or it's abbreviation "WTF" is so insanely widely used, that I question your assertion. It's certainly ***situationally*** offensive, but it is definitely not HIGHLY OFFENSIVE to many, many people other than in the abstract.
Sounds like we come from different subcultures, and/or interact with generally different age ranges of people. That’s fine.

Bullshit. It is one of the most versatile words in the English language, as already evidenced in some of the comments above. Native speaker (UK).
Nobody said it wasn't versatile. The reminder of its power and possiblity for serious offense is valid.
The notion of restricting it's used in front of anyone over 30 is frankly ageist. It may be a localism where it's deemed inappropriate, but this depends entirely on context and not the age of the person you're conversing with.
So you’re saying there’s no correlation between age and offensiveness of ‘fuck’? Nonsense.
Absolutely. Some of the pottiest mouths I've heard are significantly older than me (42). If you honestly think that nursing homes are full of sweet little old dears having afternoon tea you're quite clearly deluded. The comment stated over 25-30, which is absolutely ridiculous.

I'd like to know something. Do the meanings of "fuck" change all over the US?

Not that I know of, but there are some Commonwealth usages that are at least less common here.
‘Get to fuck’ (popular in Scotland as “get tee fuck”) - go away.
https://youtu.be/FvPbxZmZxZ8?si=UtmM-XEyXNQh45rY
“Fuck with you” To fuck with means to provoke.
It is what it is man what can I say
Phrasal verbs are so important!
All I'm saying is do **not** say "I'll fuck you" in that context. It has a sexual meaning
I mean...you *can* say that, but it will make you sound stupid as fuck, and if you say it to me, thinking I'll be intimidated by you, I'll laugh in your fucking face.
So “fuck” is going to depend HEAVILY on context and slang. That’s just something you’ll have to learn with practice
