"Up to you", "You're up", "Up yours"

I am consistently confused with Up to you, you're up, and up yours, believing that it means it is your turn, choice or responsibility. Can you please help me clarify this?

Up to you = you choose

You're up = it's your turn

Up yours = **** you (basically)

Try not to answer people with "up yours"

why not?

Well I mean if it's totally called for then do. Definitely do.

See the first post.

Also, as a non native English speaker, I think getting the differences between the three of them is much easier to catch if you hear them being said in context.

yeah. sometimes it's the only thing you should tell people.

"If you want to know the difference then it's Up to you, Anyways You're Up to get it Up Yours."

There you go, there's a context

Give it a rest.

If you learn anything from the English dialect...

Please remember the difference between "your" and "you're"...especially when writing. This will make a lot of English speaking people very happy.

Lol it can be easily mistaken

If you've ever been in a long term relationship then "up to you" also means **** you. I've even had a "you're up" that meant **** you.

So once I was watching Blazing Saddles on network TV for some reason. The part where Cleavon Little politely addresses an old lady on the street in the movie and she replies with "Up yours, N-----" was obviously redubbed for the network TV version. What surprised me was the line they redubbed it with was "Screw you, N-----". Because apparently the "Up Yours" was the offensive part of that statement.
