A popular cross country, cross culture insult that every one uses? I've met a few people from countries like Spain and Italy among others and they have a variation of this and claim to use it often. Is this the most universal insult?
Don't agree? Go fuck yer self.

'Gan boil yer heed' is the local variant.

Funny how 'your mother' is terribly offensive when translated into Spanish

'Gan boil yer heed' is the local variant. Has to be Scottish.

I always wonder about this phrase, along with motherfucker and cocksucker, which seem more understandable as a pejorative.
Motherfucker and cocksucker are meant to demean across familial and traditional gender lines. I get the insult aspect.
But fucking feels good and I always wondered why the insult? I think it has to go back to the male/female or patriarch/matriarch ideas of dominance rather than pleasure or procreation. The idea of the punish fuck, to excuse my French, using it as a form of violent dominance. Raping yourself, as it were.

Mackem/Geordie, which is closer to the Scots tongue than it is to southern England. My dad from Shields rhymes 'dead' with 'deed' for example.
