More like Oh fuck! If you want to say fuck off you’d probably just call the person shibal seki instead, which pretty much means f/a/b etc

Do you not bang the edge of the lid against [preferrably] a wooden chopping board until you hear that ‘POP!’ which indicates that the vacuum seal has broken? The lid is then usually easy to remove by hand.

I turn them upside down and bang them flat on the worktop (ideally on wood). Or use a spoon to break teh seal (between lid and jar).
A sharp tap with the spine of a large chef’s knife (an old Sabatier, never my prized Laguiole Damascus Santoku).
Oh dear, I often say ‘shay pas’ instead of je ne sais pas’, never knew how close I was. Nobody seems to have noticed though. 
It’s only a problem (saying shibal/shibal seki) if they speak Korean
