screw you

Vulgar rejection phrase

Screw you is a vulgar expression of contempt, anger, or dismissal—a slightly softer alternative to "fuck you." It rejects someone or their opinion: You think I should apologize? Screw you.

The phrase can express defiance toward institutions or circumstances as easily as toward individuals: Screw you, I'm not paying that fine.
