    If you want one to truly make you wimper, look up the poem “the chaos”. 😈

    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.”
