Ambiguity[edit]
# 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)
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)
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![edit]
In the UK at least, "fuck off!" can also mean "no way!", i.e. "I don't believe you!".
