I used to have a button that read: "Is There A Polite Way to Say: 'Fuck You'?"

I have since found that the way to do this is to say "Fuck off, mate," in an English accent, with the tone of the word "off" and "mate" said in a second and third tone respectively. You should end the word "mate" in a fricative tonal shift down to indicate directive rather than query.

This is considered a polite way to tell someone to go away, in much of the US anyway.

aussie accent also works, and then you can say basically anything because you just can't be offended when someone sounds like steve irwin

After trying a couple times in my head I think I get what you were after, but my initial thought was saying "fuck off, mate" in the style of the Duracell chime

That would be tones of 3,1,5. You want 1,2,3,2.5
