Ambiguity

 * 1) To go to hell, to disappear, to screw oneself.

The lexical ambiguity of a word or phrase pertains to its having more than one meaning in the language to which the word belongs. So the phrase "fuck off" can mean in a sentimental way "no way dude" but also in anger with disdain to negativity towards oneself "get the fuck out of here" or fuck off in a nut shell.by Goodbizz (talk) 21:37, 31 January 2013 (UTC) It being a phrase widely used across the globe can have so many levels and and sentiments it has in its own right its own ambiguity.

No way!
In the UK at least, "fuck off!" can also mean "no way!", i.e. "I don't believe you!".
