Mmm, delicious!

When I saw this sculpture on slashfood, I immediately heard my father's voice in my head, saying "Bite my ass, it's a peach." (He's been gone 11 years now, but he used to say this often when I was growing up.) I went ahead and googled the phrase, since I realized that I didn't really know where it came from, and I got a googlewhack, in the depths of a comment thread about Grand Theft Auto (#18).

Now if I hadn't found it at all, I'd have just thought it was a weirdness of my dad's, but *someone* else thought it was a reasonable rude thing to say. Does anyone else say this/know someone who says this, or know the origins of it?

ETA: Holy crap, this entry made it on to Google on a search for the phrase within 15 minutes (so it's no longer a googlewhack...woo, observer effect or something. :P). That's...kinda scary.

My dad used to say that, and he passed it on to me. Even now, when we go to the grocery store, I'm often seen grabbing the peaches and happily yelling "Buttfruit, buttfruit!" That always cracks Simtra up since he knows to what phrase it refers.

Wow. I used to hang out with someone who said "Eat me, I'm a strawberry tart" but I hadn't heard the peach one.
