eat my shorts
Get lost, jerk
Eat my shorts is a dismissive retort expressing defiance or contempt, essentially telling someone to go away or that you don't care what they think.
Popularized by Bart Simpson on *The Simpsons*, the phrase is deliberately absurd and juvenile, making it more comic than genuinely hostile: Oh yeah? Eat my shorts!
