Not always a bad thing to say, or to hear.

me: What do you want to do tonight?

I believe that fuck you very much originated in the movie "Falling Down". Pendergast said this at the end: "Fuck you Captain Yardley. Fuck you very much."

WARNING: Do not try this if your boss thinks that you're a smartass. It also helps if he's out of earshot.

My younger sister began using Fuck You Very Much when she worked at a coffee shop. People would come in and get amazingly rude when she didn't make their cappucino exactly as they do at Starbucks.

The beautiful thing about Fuck You Very Much is that, said quickly, it sounds close to Thank You Very Much. It's a nice way of letting a customer know that they can go to hell, but if they make a ruckus, you can just act injured and claim to have said Thank You Very Much. Your boss is usually more likely to side with you in any case (if you're on his/her good side). Plus, if you work in an open environment (like a coffee shop or bar, as opposed to a restaurant), you rarely get a chance to spit in their food, and this can be a satisfying alternative. If they don't make a ruckus, maybe they'll actually reflect on what an asshole they are to people who work in the service industry.

This is also a brilliantly delivered line in Ani Difranco's song "Every State Line," off her 1992 album Imperfectly, which is about traveling cross-country by car and finding that the police in every state are uniformly prejudiced and suspicious: "Every police man comes equipped with extended claws...the same rule always applies: smile pretty and watch your back."

The relevant verse:

I broke down in Louisiana
And I had to thumb a ride
Got in the first car that pulled over
Can't be picky in the middle of the night
He said, "Baby, do you like to fool around?"
He said, "Baby, do you like to be touched?"
I said "Maybe some other time,
Fuck you very much."
