eff off

Leave me alone

Eff off is a euphemistic form of fuck off, substituting the letter name for the taboo word.

It carries the same dismissive or hostile meaning—go away, leave me alone, stop bothering me—but with reduced vulgarity: Oh, eff off, will you?

The euphemism allows speakers to express irritation in contexts where the full expletive would be inappropriate.
