chuj ci w dupę

KHOOY chee v DOO-peh · /ˈxuj t͡ɕi v ˈdu.pɛ/

Fuck you / shove it — the classic anatomical dismissal.

4/5 Fighting words

aimed at a person, will start something

Literally

"a dick up your ass"

Word-for-word — which is rarely what it means.

How to use it

A construction so canonical it's practically heraldry: chuj plus dative plus destination. It means a definitive "fuck you / shove it," fighting-words 4 aimed at a stranger — though between very close male friends it can be flung as outrageous banter, which is a privilege you have to earn, not assume. The template conjugates: "chuj ci w oko" (in your eye) is the jocular variant. A traveler should file this under comprehension-first: know exactly what was just said to you, and think twice before returning fire.

Heard in the wild

Chuj ci w dupę, nie oddam ci już ani grosza.

Fuck you, you're not getting another penny out of me.
