Bugger Off

I remember learning in school that the ancient Egyptians used to shave off their eyebrows to mourn the dead. I thought it was an odd way to honor the dead, I couldn't piece together what missing eyebrows and death had in common.

It just struck me that it was a very obvious way to tell people "Bugger off!" And when you burst into tears for no apparent reason in public, there is no need to wonder.
