Please help me translate some graffiti in German
It's been almost a decade since I last lived in Germany, and a good friend of mine sent me a snapshot of some graffiti he encountered in Goettingen.
The text reads:
"Fickt euch doch mal selbst".
Either that, or:
"Ficht euch doch mal selbst".
The image is here
I'm a little rusty, but I read it something like: "go f**k yourself"...
Am I correct?

Best answer: My interpretation (not literal translation) is:
"Why don't you go fuck *yourself*, for a change."

Seconding Grensgeval - "For once, go fuck yourself."

Yeah, something like "Oh, go fuck yourselves." It is plural.

Ditto the above. FYI, the first version is the correct one, it's spelled with a k, not an h.
