- Example: "Our team beat theirs' badly in floor hockey, and they're still butthurt over it." This term likely came about from common usage of the word 'rape' to mean 'defeat' ("I raped him at checkers"). Of rapes, anal-rape is a form that may be administered to male and female alike, and is also considered rather heinous. Therefore, from the analogy of rape to a sound defeat, the sense of loss and disappointment from being defeated was associated with the soreness or pain of the rape victim's anus. The compound 'butthurt' is a slang phrase meant to capture this pain and metaphorically apply it to the feelings of defeat.
