Meaning & Usage
"kiss my ass / screw you"
A defiant, dismissive comeback meaning 'I don't care what you think.' It's confrontational but playful — the kind of thing you say with a smirk rather than a snarl. The implied completion is 'bite my ass,' but stopping at 'bite me' keeps it PG-13.
Examples in the Wild
When someone criticizes you and you want to express defiance without escalating. 'You can't pull that off.' 'Bite me.'

Avoid

Cultural Context
Peak American 1990s slang, popularized by TV shows like The Simpsons (Bart's catchphrase). Sounds distinctly American to British ears. It's fallen out of fashion somewhat but remains instantly understood. The beauty of it is its ambiguity — it's aggressive enough to be satisfying but mild enough to use at work.
