Umm...nope, too many possibilities.
Oh, I'll say it.
Lucky, lucky egg.
We now resume our previously scheduled nattering.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
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.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Also, scrambled eggs when you're done
So that's what the kids are calling it nowadays.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
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.

And for some reason the phrase "Feed Me, Seymour!" just popped in my head. Not terribly happy about it either.

Art Crawl!!!
I wasn't sure whether this should go here or in GWW but apparently, there is a new sort of butt-kicking romance novel inspired by characters such as Buffy from BtVS or Sydney from Alias.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
While I suppose the term has spread through the mainstream without necessarily picking up any connotations beyond sugar daddydom, the acquaintance I mentioned earlier was pointing out the narrower usage in the context of his pal using the phrase in a cruisy San Francisco gym at a point in time when his genitals were within about 2 feet of the other person's head.

Re: "Who's your Daddy?"
Strangely enough, my local paper, The Orlando Sentinel, had this article about the phrase's origins today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
justkim -- that's the article that started this all off.
