The country 'Wales' actually translates as 'Foreigners'. That's why they're trying to change its official name to the Welsh name for Wales, which is 'Cymru'. But Welsh is a tricky language, so that's actually pronounced 'Cum-ree'Never gave a second thought to that, but the official "long" name of my country is Rzeczpospolita Polska, with the acronym being RP.

Personally I think the jury's out on that one.
Kind of the same as being called the three letter (or six letter) F word, or using the word ironically ourselves, when we are gay. I have a strange habit of using this word, as well as a certain N word (despite not being racist, and literally having zero problem with black people), when enraged and just mouthing off shit at a game when I'm frustrated. It's less about what the insult technically means, and more about just reaching for anything insulting in the heat of the moment. There's a lot of oddities and inconsistencies in this world when we stop to think about them. Humanity is a confusing headache.Why is "fuck you" and "blow me" considered an insult?
Fucking people is the primary drive for most of humanity (obvious exceptions)
Most people who have penises love getting them "blown".
If the person is attractive it's literally what you would be wanting to do or hoping they do to you.
SO isn't it the same as screaming "I want your sex!".....as an INSULT?
At that point, aren't you logically insulting YOURSELF, by implying that the other person has FAR better standards than to want to fuck or blow you?
How odd that the most intensely pleasurable drive we have became the planetary go-to for degradation and telling someone you hate them. <shrug>
I'd like to add that the East European counterpart to "fuck", that is "jebać" in all its regional variants, is said to come all the way back from Pre-Indo-European, where approximate "yebh" meant vulgar sex already.@Mambi & @Katara the Sergal - actually I can answer this one. It's about dominance.
When somebody says 'Fuck you', they are declaring that they have the ability to copulate with you, whether you like it or not. This has been considered a display of dominance and an insult for a very, very long time. If we look at the Code of Hamurrabi, one of the oldest legal codes in the universe, we find a rule that says men can't have sex with other men. Or at least that's what it seems to say on the face, but when you investigate further, you find that the law applies only to the penetrative partner. The punishment for fucking another man under the same code is that your victim then gets to fuck you right back! This suggests that the prohibition wasn't with homosexuality at all, but with rape as an act of dominance.
It's also a factor we see in nature. With many species of animals, only one male - the dominant one - gets to have sex with the females.
Finally, compare 'Fuck You' with 'Fuck Me', a cry of surprise or astonishment. This is kind of the opposite, like saying 'I'm so shocked right now that somebody could sneak up and fuck me and I wouldn't even care / notice!'
The three-letter 'F' word has a less obscure etymology. 'Faggot' in its original context meant 'a bundle of sticks suitable for making a fire'. (It can also mean 'a meatball' where I'm from, which is why I have no problem using it, but that has nothing to do with the insult derived from it.) The point is that gathering wood for the fire was most often the job of the woman of the household, usually grandma who couldn't handle much else. The word therefore became a transferred epithet, meaning 'an ugly old woman', because that's the kind of person you usually saw carrying faggots.
That was already insult enough, but then it got transferred to homosexual men as a way of saying that their natural femininity made them act like women, but their physical appearance made them (subjectively) ugly to the average insecure heterosexual cisgender biggot. Later the was shortened, and the derivation of 'Fag' meaning 'Cigarette' comes from the same origin - a small, burnable stick.
