Two phrases I despise, and see all to often. I don't know their origin, and personally I don't care to know. What I do know is that people in this community have more panache than that. So here is a friendly reminder that the English language has a plethora of different, and much more creative ways to get your point across.
Instead of simply crying, one could be said to be weeping, sobbing, or turning on the waterworks. Perhaps there is something in their eye? Or their hay-fever is acting up? Or simply suffering a case of epiphora.
Instead of butthurt (the phrase I hate the most due to the provocative connotations), one could have developed hemorrhoids, suffering a nasty case of proctalgia, or is simply using the wrong size butt-plug.
So there we are, just a short introduction to the art of creative insults. Although I find this sort of behaviour borderline abhorrent, since it is going to happen anyway, it may as well be done distinctively and with style.
Please, share any other ideas you have to move away from these childish and monotonous phrases. My favourite will win a Tempest full of apples
