you ...!
phrase: someone says these words (see more)
I say “you X!” (e.g. you dirty wog!) because it can be like this:
I think about you like this:
You did something very bad. I feel something very bad towards you because of this. I want to say something bad about you because of this.
Because of this, I say: You are a person of one kind. People of this kind are bad people. People here can’t not feel something bad towards you.
I say this because I want to say what I think. I want you to know how I feel.
I want you to feel something very bad because of this.
"You absolute knob!"
"You bloody hippy!"
"You fuckwit!"
