If you want one to truly make you wimper, look up the poem "the chaos". ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

The f word is also stupidly flexible for a single word. It can basically be used in any place in a sentence. "F*** you, you FING Fwit is a clear concise sentence in practical English.

It also doesn't help that the language gets thoroughly abused. "Literally " meaning both literally and figuratively is one of the more egregious misuses.

As for the question.

"F off" means "go away".

"Fed over" means you got scammed, taken advantage of, abused, or did really badly. Basically the wrong end of a bad situation. E.g. "Mark quit his job without notice, I got completely fed over doing his work, along with mine."

"Fed up" means you made a mistake (generally a big one). E.g. "I fed up today. I accidentally knocked over a display of cans at work. It took me hours to restack them."

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
