Glory ,'Potential'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Because the phrase has burrowed up from the subculture and is widely kicked around with etymological ignorance of its origin.
Well, if it predated the subculture, and is used entirely without knowledge of it, perhaps it's just parallel.
For me, if Joe answers "Me" to Carol's "Who's your daddy?" it also means that Joe is Carol's bitch.
I think the first time it burnt into my brain was Chasing Amy, in probably my favourite Affleck moment ever.
The Donald Duck .wav file was the first time "who's your daddy" got burnt into my brain. It just makes me giggle now.
I personally have no associations with "sucks" at all, but that's probably because I've used it without reprimand since I was wee, I guess thinking it came from "sucks eggs" or something less sexual. I do try to not say it in polite company, etc.
"Bites" is a little more raw for me, I guess because of the animalistic violence of the word. I know some people use it to mean oral sex, but it makes about as much physical sense as "blows" in that context. Actually now that I think about it, it's more confusing, because you could really bite someone, pretty much anywhere, during sex, but....never mind, we're getting off topic.
"Daddy" in this context is definitely a Borstal thing over here: The line "I'm the Daddy now" from Scum is one of the most quoted film lines.
I guess thinking it came from "sucks eggs" or something less sexual.
That's where I thought it came from -- Phyllis' line, "Oh, go suck an egg!" from Mary Tyler Moore.
Who actually sucks eggs? I have used the expression "teaching your grandmother how to suck eggs" all my life, but to my knowledge neither I nor my grandmother ever sucked an egg.
(I have blown an egg, however.)
(I have blown an egg, however.)
Umm...nope, too many possibilities.
Umm...nope, too many possibilities.
Oh, I'll say it.
Lucky, lucky egg.
We now resume our previously scheduled nattering.
Blown eggs kill the thread! (Well, how else do you get empty eggshells for Easter artistry purposes? Also, a nice physics lesson about air pressure. Also, scrambled eggs when you're done.)
Also, scrambled eggs when you're done
So that's what the kids are calling it nowadays.
DUDE. I'm now gonna be skeeved every time Keith says "Who's your daddy?" to Veronica. Wahh! My favorite father-daughter relationship on TV! Ruined!
Oh, way ahead of you. FTR, I've always thought of "Who's your daddy?" as having that specific leatherman sexual connotation.
I don't mind either "sucks" or "bites" or "blows", though I get excessively grossed out by elaborations upon them, such as (whitefonted) "that sucks diseased donkey dick" or whatever. EW. But "Bite me" seems fairly innocuous, whereas "Suck me" or "Blow me" are much more aggressive, possibly because they're more specifically sexual, IMO, and "Eat me" is even more so.
