How it's used

This expression uses a humorous, slightly vulgar contrast between a popular social activity and a painful physical act to emphasize that two things are fundamentally different. It functions as a colorful way to dismiss a comparison as illogical or absurd. Because it references a bodily action, it is best reserved for informal settings among friends rather than professional or formal contexts.

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a literal description of two activities, but it is strictly a fixed idiom used to reject a comparison. Avoid using it in polite company or with people you do not know well, as the second part of the phrase is crude.
