FU

Vulgar rejection acronym

FU is an abbreviation for "fuck you," used in text messages, online communication, and anywhere brevity or mild censorship is desired.

It delivers the same dismissive hostility as the full phrase but in compressed form: She texted back just "FU" and blocked him.

Sometimes written with periods (F.U.) or lowercase (fu).
