Turkish · Insults
Siktir git!
sik-TEER GEET · /sikˈtiɾ git/
Fuck off / piss off
4/5 Fighting words
aimed at a person, will start something
Literally
"Get fucked and go"
Word-for-word — which is rarely what it means.
How to use it
The direct "fuck off." "Siktir" alone works; "siktir git" adds the shove; "siktir lan" is spitting it at someone. Real fighting words when aimed at a person — but note the same root shows up in the harmless-shock "hassiktir," which is not directed at anyone. Among close friends "siktir ya" can be an eye-rolling "oh get lost," yet a stranger will take it as a challenge. Aim carefully.
Heard in the wild
