Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Australian here, heard it all my life. Also, in our dialect you can use fuck to mean pretty much anything, as long as it's clear from context what sentiment you're going for

Haha alright. Yeah same in America, sort of. "fucked off" would always mean "left" for us though

Doesn't 'piss off' can mean 'leave' in American English too? I use them pretty much interchangeably, maybe 'fuck off' expresses a stronger intention.

In America, "piss off" can mean "leave", but "pissed off" means angry (usually, depending on context it can also mean left). "fuck off" means "leave", while "fucked off" either means "left" or "screwed around". It's complicated haha. In this post, I guess "fucked off" could've meant "left" too, but that reads very awkwardly to me so I decided against that theory. Then others are telling me it can mean angry, or least I'm taking their responses to mean that, so I'm thinking OOP meant that here. But maybe I'm still confused! /shrug
