fuck it
Giving up now
Fuck it is a vulgar expression of resignation or reckless abandon—deciding to stop caring about consequences or obstacles.
It can signal giving up: I've been working on this for hours—fuck it, I'm done.
Or it can mark a leap into action despite reservations: Fuck it, let's just go.
The phrase dismisses whatever was holding someone back.
