A riff on the Talking Heads, though I don't know the origin of the cake part.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
A riff on the Talking Heads
No, I get that. I just wondered where the cake part came from, and why it seemed like everyone was saying it all at once.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think people are only saying it all at once here (seriously -- the only Google hit on the full phrase is an LJ entry about SPN fandom. I'm'a blame Nutty.)

I'm getting the pig!
I'm still shaking my head at douchenozzle. I've been skimming a lot lately but wtf? My co-worker was saying this word a lot a couple of months ago and then just dropped it. And now I've seen it quite a bit here, just recently, and I honestly thought my co-worker had made it up.

"Douchenozzle", otoh, goes back to at least 2002.
Gods, I love the Goog.

It's definitely Wincest related in my head.

I always speculated "that is not my beautiful cake" was a reference to the Talking Heads song Same as it ever was (specific line: This is not my beautiful wife) also referring to "Cake or Death" routine which we were quoting a bit at the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I associate it with shrift explaining her stance on Wincest.

I kind of assumed that it was "Same as it Ever Was" plus "MacArthur Park." But I have nothing at all to back that up.
