 ::::That was a typo. I am an American and am familiar with the term. I'm also familiar with terms like shut the hell up, eat shit, fuck off, and other terms that have essentially the same meaning as ""bite me"" that many Americans use in their everyday speech. That doesn't mean I would use them in a policy conversation on Wikipedia. Since you seem to think you are speaking to a child allow me to disabuse you of that flawed assumption. I am thirty eight years old, married, own my own business and home. In short, an adult. Like yourself. I would not tell a client to ""bite me"" at my business as that would be unprofessional. I would tell a drinking buddy to go fuck themselves because that is a personal relationship and standards of decorum are different in a bar or a playground than they are in an adult conversation about policy. That is the distinction I am endeavoring to make clear to you.   "
