Delete, obvious SoP. The same applies to screw this and screw that. See screw#Verb, fuck#Verb. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:47, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

fuck this

screw this

As seen from the talk pages, these were previously deleted back in 2013, but I'd like to charitably interpret Nicki's recreation of them as a request for undeletion. I think it's at least worth discussing (even though Nicki is a global-block-evading user), since it's not entirely obvious why "fuck this" and "screw this" are more SOP than "fuck you"/"screw you", which we have long had entries for and have not deleted. So: are these SOP, or not? - -sche (discuss) 19:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Dunno, I'm personally not bothered, but it's language I wouldn't use. The usage examples are interesting. DonnanZ (talk) 10:22, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

I'd say weak keep. It does seem like an idiomatic expression, and I'm surprised so many people voted to delete it without any discussion or reasoning last time. @Equinox, Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV (two of the deleters last time who are still around), what do you think now? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:14, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

keep as they do have distinct meaning and use. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:17, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Weak keep for me too. I wouldn't want to delete fuck it and screw it either. Per utramque cavernam 11:24, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Keep: I am confused about the two senses, nearly antonymic: one indicates lack of care, the other one indicates excess of care (frustration). As for the sum of parts, which meanings of the parts, especially fuck I guess, yield the two senses? As for the frustration sense, that could be obtained from fuck#6: "Used to express great displeasure with someone or something", but the indifference sense I do not know how to obtain. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:18, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

I missed this at the time, but yes, I'd still say delete. It's like "fuck her!", "fuck all of that!", "fuck those people!". Equinox ◑ 20:43, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
