There's a great Mine Monteiro talk about contracting titled, "Fuck you; Pay me", so yes, it's not unheard of at all.

I’d like to see you actually using this as a sales pitch to your client.

Hilariously enough, here's some blog thought leader who's telling founders to do so as an exercise while writing up their pitch decks:

> What is the fuck you list? Simply put, it’s what you tell Billy Bob to get him to shut the fuck up, and as someone who hates you, still make him think what you are doing actually makes sense.

> The fuck you list are 3-5 key points about why your business is amazing and you are going to win. They are the important points you would feel annoyed for having not conveyed when you leave that big meeting with the investor you really want to close.

We have arrived at peak HN.

You and I roll in very different circles. I've had clients who told me to go fuck myself (and vice versa) without any real damage to our relationship.

A New Yorker using the expression is just frankly a different reading than a Washington DC type.
