I felt hands on my ass as the other guy was trying to distract me. I pushed me 44.7 lbs suit case into him and called him a fucking lowlife pervert.

Foutre is the infinitive form: to do, to stick
Fou is conjugated, specifically the second person (singular, familiar) imperative command.
One could also say: Foutez le camp! or Foutez-moi le camp!
You'd use these second person plural forms if you wanted to specify that you wanted more than one person to fuck off.
Fou-moi la paix! and Foutez-moi la paix! are also handy.

Yeah, well, like, that's just your opinion, man. (I had six years of immersion in junior high and high school, but it's confirmed over and over that barely anything was retained, other than how to tell people that the birds are in the library.)Foutre is the infinitive form: to do, to stick

The birds were always in the library at my school too especially in winter. That is where I got to put my hand up a girls jumper for the first time and we weren't even in the biology section.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 May 2017, 9:18amGood point.

Nice. I got my backpack opened up (apparently they didn't have time to get into it) when I showed up there the second to last time I went.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
