Oh yeah and away from any meaning it also just sounds better.Travis Leon, commonly known as Gorilla Nems or simply Nems, is an American rapper, content creator, entrepreneur and web series' host, from Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City. Maybe I'm looking too much into it but it got me thinking so thought I'd put it here because where else? That message may still be a hard pill to swallow for some people, but the message (or at least the one I've interpreted here) is much more valuable than a quick quip like "Fuck you" or "Go fuck yourself".īut all of that is just my interpretation of the saying, feel free to share your perspective in the thread if you want. It's an insult to push someone's ego back down to earth, reminding them that they are not the 'main character' in the world and shouldn't feel inherently superior to others. Referring to someone's "life" specifically tells the receiver of the insult that their life as a whole (rather than just 1 or 2 specific things about them) is no more (or less) important/special than any one else's. So, why is "Fuck ya life" so much better? The core reason is that the saying is less of an insult and more of a message for people to properly consider.

Plus it also may come as a reaction to one or two actions which might not always accurately portray a person's true character. It does not have any deeper meaning or motivation than simply telling someone they're deserving of bad things to happen to them. The saying "Fuck you" is nothing more than an insult you'd say to someone if you believe something about them warrants it. The comparison I'll make here is to the simple insult of "Fuck you", and why "Fuck ya life" is so much better. I'll preface this by saying I have never been to NYC let alone the US, so my take here is not informed by personal experience but rather just my interpretation of the "Fuck ya life" saying seen in the Coney Island Ski Club video and other Sidetalk videos.
