- 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)

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? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/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)
