In Carashan you say "se foatta" /sE 'fw&tt@/, as in "acesto coveilo se foatta", "this apartment sucks". Literally, "se foatta" means "fucks itself". Also, "vader fottarse", means "to clear off, to scram", literally "to go fuck oneself." A rather vulgar carashais might say "sha, vao fottarme", "yep, I'm going to fuck myself" when he means "yep, I'm off".
