Why Do We SAY That?
 

Okay, so someone pisses you off or you just can't stand them in general, and at some point you may say something like "fuck you", "kiss my ass", "suck my (various body part/s)", "eat me"...etcetera...

That's quite a bit of suggested intimacy directed at someone we don't like, isn't it?...Yet, we ALL say things like this at times without even considering it...

There are SO many things that we say without ever contemplating "Where the hell did that phrase even COME from"...or..."That doesn't even make any SENSE"

I know there are LOTS more examples of this, but I'm too tired to think of them at the moment

You guys have some, right?

OH..."Cute as a bug's ear"...Bugs don't even HAVE ears...and, there is NOTHING about ANY bug that can be considered 'cute'...so...WTF?

That's all I got for this minute

any time a girl tells me to kiss my ass, or eat me, i just say: 'sure' :)


not sure what the root of 'fuck off' is to make it an insult from one person to another .. it just seems right. not too little , not too much.

''Bling bling'', what the hell about jewelery made somebody want to call it ''bling bling''?

I think things like "Cute as a bug's ear" are just endearing gibberish.

Kiss my ass, and suck my whatever are said as an order, with the suggestion that it should be humiliating. Imagine if you were forced to kiss the ass, or god forbid, suck ANYTHING on someone you hated. It wiuld take years of therapy to get over.


Fuck Off just sounds harsh.

The one that has always bothered me is "Shit eating grin." Ew....

LOL...For real...What the hell is THAT all about?

I think "kiss my ass" and "suck my...." along with "fuck you" are rapacious phrases. They sort of assert dominance. However, I think that guys should think twice about saying those phrases to other men unless they're really comfortable with their own sexuality.

What?! You callin' me GAY?!

This wholel thing reminds me of Happy Gilmore:
"I eat little pieces of shit like you for breakfast..."
"You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?"

One of moveidom's greatest burns...

Haha, I do the same.

Shit-eating grin is in reference to a smile that is blatantly false. So wide and exagerrated that it can't be anything but false.

like someone eating a mouthful of shit and smiling, pretending that it's wonderful - like a talk show host who hates his guest, but paints on the phony smile in order to fool the audience into thinking he genuinely likes the person.

And "cute as a bug's ear" is a snide insult that has been perverted into the opposite of its intended use.

it's all in the usage.

An old granny says it and you think "oh how adorable"

WC Fields says it and you realize he's referring to a child as a nasty, unwanted pest.
