Can someone explain to me why the expression ‘eat a dick’ and its various permutations is so ‘funnee’ and popular?

Well, Zephyr, since it’s Saturday night and I’m in what one might term “a mood” I will answer your question.  You see, once upon a time a very misogynistic tumblr came to use this phrase as a “come back” to any and all criticism, valid or otherwise.  And because most of us are passive aggressive assholes to one degree or another, it became a joke.  Not because anyone found the phrase itself funny, but because it allowed us all to vent our anger and frustration, by essentially laughing at the speaker.  People Animals such as yourself, who are not “in the know” — either because you are wise and don’t pay that much attention, or because you are lucky enough to have a less incestuous dash — would understandably not “get” the joke.  Which is really not all that funny and feeds the beast, but on some days, there are not enough fucking degrees of separation.  Of course, there is always the chance that some of us enjoy all the dramz on some sick level, because the internet allows us to be cuntier than we would in real life, and an (almost) universally disliked villain allows us to do it with little guilt and often high fives all around.

The more you know.
