A cheeky, transparent euphemism for 'fuck you', constructed by replacing the offensive words with similar-sounding but technically clean substitutes. 'Chuck' echoes the F-word's sound just enough, and 'Farley' replaces 'you' with a proper name to create a plausibly deniable insult. It's the kind of wordplay schoolkids and comedians love — a fig-leaf of innocence over a completely obvious message. Anyone who hears it understands exactly what's being communicated, which is precisely the point.

When the ref gave him a yellow card for the tackle, he turned away and muttered 'chuck you Farley' just quietly enough to avoid a red.
Origin: Euphemistic spoonerism/sound-alike replacement for 'fuck you'; the name 'Farley' is chosen for phonetic proximity to 'you' in the target phrase. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.

(slang, euphemistic) Fuck you.

For parents

"chuck you Farley" means: Fuck you.. This is strong language and parents may reasonably want to discuss when, where and around whom it is used. It is not usually a sign of trouble on its own; many teens use such words to fit in with peers. A calm conversation about register, audience and consequences (school, work, family) tends to be more useful than a ban. Pay attention to the target of the language more than the word itself.

For ESL learners

"chuck you Farley" means: Fuck you.. Register: strong, taboo language. Avoid in writing, business, classroom and any formal setting; reserve for close friends after observing native use first. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
