Morphology
The literal meanings of 'go' + 'fuck' + 'oneself' do suggest a self-directed sexual action, so learners can partially infer that this is a hostile, imperatival insult rather than a neutral instruction. However, the conventionalized pragmatic force (an offensive dismissal equivalent to 'get lost' or 'fuck off') is idiomatic and not fully predictable from the parts; many languages have similar reflexive insults which may help recognition, but the exact usage and strength remain non-compositional for learners.
Etymology
The phrase go fuck yourself comes from using fuck as a shocking insult and adding yourself to tell someone to do it to themselves, which creates a strong, rude image. So it is used as a very angry way to tell someone to 'leave' or to 'show contempt'.
