    Lightbulb Butt-hurt

    The expression butt-hurt seems to float around DDO-dom a fair bit, and it has always sounded so base and tacky to my ears. I was wondering if we might come up with an expression that conveys the same meaning but is more couth.

    How about:

    Posteriorly pained?

    Rectally discomfortable?

    Anally aggravated?

    Arse-ached?

    Bittered buttocks?

    Boo-booed bum?

    Surely, we can come up with SOMETHING else. At the very least, we should be able to add a little bit of variety. Give it a try the next time you feel like conveying the aforementioned sentiment.

    I am with George Carlin on this one - no need to turn shell shock into post traumatic stress syndrome.

    as a variant, I prefer "Swollen mangina". I can never use it enough.

    Well, it doesn't raise the bar any, but at least it gives us some variety.

    So the point of "butt-hurt" is to convey the angst that comes from having your feelings hurt in a public and embarrassing way. It's the like the insult version of onamotopoea, where seeing the phrase makes you feel the very emotion it describes.

    Using a different word or phrase would lessen the impact of the statement, watering down the author's message.

    And nobody wants watery butt-hurt. Don't you agree?

    That depends entirely on whether or not the individual buys into the whole "give the gift of a colonoscopy" campaign.

    I think instead of finding another way to say it, we should be concentrating on a cure.
