Ms. Toad (8,805 posts) Hope you'll consider wiping a word out of your vocabulary and being part of making DU a friendlier place for rape survivors and gays - "Or else maybe there are just more butthurt drama addicts among long-term posters." ‘Butthurt’ isn’t funny Rape humor rarely is ... There is, however, a pretty obvious cause of butthurt that everyone envisions when they try to think of its point of origin. It’s called getting ****ed in the ass.http://littlegreenfootballs.com/page/290654_Butthurt_isnt_funny We use a lot of words without thinking about what they really mean - like that's so "gay," or I was "raped." The latter was used today in my presence in connection with being on the losing end of a legal argument by someone who had no idea he was in the presence of one rape survivor - and perhaps from the reaction of the judge more than one. Fortunately the judge took him to task so I didn't need to. But, the most likely origin of "butthurt," as the blogger suggests, is real trauma at the hands of someone bigger and stronger who enforces their will by sodomizing their victims. Using it to characterize someone who blows small things way out of proportion, trivializes the experience of people who have real butthurt as the result of being sodomized against their will. (It also often has anti-gay connotations: homophobic in nature , explicitly connecting butthurt and putting down gays, sodomized with a cactus) Forced sodomy is not the only suggested origin - but it is frequently suggested and one of two images I am aware of which comes to mind when the user is asked to explain where it comes from or what it really means (the other being equally violent - that of being kicked or paddled hard enough to have a sore rear end). You're a creative guy - I'd encourage you to find a colorful substitute that is not tainted with violence, rape, and anti-homosexual imagery.
Skinner (57,124 posts) 1. I was under the impression that it was a reference to a whiny child who had been spanked.About Butthurt is an online slang term used to describe a strongly negative or overemotional response. It is used to draw attention to a person who shows signs of being irritated due to a perceived insult, an unfavorable situation, or a lack of decent communication. On occasions, it can be also used to describe unreasonable users behaviors without an apparent explanation. Origin The term “butthurt†originates from spanking, the act of striking the buttocks of another person, which is often seen as a method of punishing a child. Though some cultures view this as an acceptable form of discipline, it can be interpreted as abusive corporal punishment. Online, one of the earliest archived mentions of “butthurt†appeared in a 1998 comment posted on the website of Swiss surrealist painter H. R. Giger. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/butthurtBut seeing as there is some disagreement on the origin of the word, I went ahead and edited my post.
'Butthurt' is now a gay term?
Butthurt, bad. Teabagger, good. Got it.

Only the first time
Yes, right around this time of year, we're all feeling raped. Hey DUmmies, **** you with a cactus.
Maybe for productive citizens.....but for DUmmies, it's Christmas time again.
They nail each other with cacti for Christmas? Who knew . . . or wanted to know?
Not what I meant....Taxpayers get screwed this time of year while DUmmies that don't even pay taxes get a refund.....and every used car lot in town profits from it.
