What is the origin of the word/phrase 'butt-hurt'?
This was not something I had ever heard until recently. Now, I’m hearing it all over, so apparently, it’s a thing?
Where did it come from? It doesn’t make much sense to me. Here is the definition.

I wish I knew the origin. It’s a phrase I commonly use. First time I heard it was two years ago at a firehouse. One of the guys was describing how another guy got all butt-hurt after they put his uniform in a bucket of water in the freezer. Don’t leave your uniform laying around after shift.

Can you use the word in a sentence, please?:\
It is just a syllable minimalist expedient way of saying the still currently fashionable… “I am appalled and devastated”
@AmWiser
As an adjective: “Anytime someone mentions Sarah Palin on Fluther, someone is bound to get butthurt.”
As a noun: “Arguments between Christians and Atheists are nothing but huge butthurt fests.”
The first time I heard it said was by the mo-fucking fakesagan on youtube.
I’m not hearing it used. My sons are in their twenties, so I keep up fairly well, but this expression hasn’t come up in my vicinity.
I’ve never heard of it before.
It basically means the person is whining about something, as if they just received some rough anal sex.
Someday there will be a B movie poster I can link to when I say this common phrase:
“It came from /b/”
I usually us it to mean, “offended or showing discomfort more than is necessary”
For example “I tripped over his dog and he got all butt-hurt”
It’s not used by anyone I know in my locale. It appears that’s a good thing
I can say I’ve never heard this phrase in my entire life!
It is rarely used in real life conversation, but commonly appears in many areas of the internet.
It is a reference to anal sex used when someone does not react well to criticism or negative comments.
Example:
“I’ll put some butt-hurt on (him/her/it/them)” can be interpreted as “I’ll cause (him/her/it/them) a real pain in the ass!”
