Subject: Re: ?Earliest Citation of "Bite Me"



I recall "Bite my ass" in teenage male speech from the 1940s and 1950s

in South Texas. Could have connections to North Texas or Arkansas. It

could be a way of "telling off" someone who had done something mildly

or greatly offinsive to the prospective "bitee." Though salatious to a

degree, I don't recall it being fellatious. One could also say "Well,

bite my ass" to indicate low credibility upon hearing something someone

said. Or one could say it upon hitting one's thumb instead of a nail.

Somehow it scares me to think that "bite me" is "fellatious" (is this your

coinage, Don?). I also thought it meant "bite my ass"--a possibly painful

but less seriously damaging kind of bite, I imagine.
