Hi salmans124

Apparently the expression you're asking about includes a word that is automatically censored by the forum software.

Does the expression you're asking about begin with the letter F by any chance? :lol:

.
When that expression is used as a command, it is definition 11b here.
It is usually said with annoyance, anger or impatience. It is never polite.
