I guess my unpopular opinion is that most of these sound pretty dumb, I personally prefer the ones like “shitdick”

They annoy me slightly, I think the reason is people clearly put effort into coming up with "hilarious" combinations and then try to pass them off as a spontaneous product of their strong feelings. The real internal response was probably a boring combination of the same old words and maybe some now banned ones from school you can't fully shake.

It's like the tumblr trend of suddenly switching to caps partway through a word, the verbal equivalent works but I know you're proofreading your posts.

Just a headsup, but shitdick may come off as homophobic depending on who you release your shitgibbon on

Thanks for the info, I had no idea

maybe, or maybe it refers to someone having defeated on their own genitals

Yeah. Because if I think shitdick is gross, there's apparently something wrong with me. What a crazy world we live in.

No, that's not how it works. The comment is only asking you that "please don't use that swearword, it sounds like you're cursing at gays".

Almost all people do not like feces on their penis, regardless of their sexual orientation.

Hey!

I haven't heard that term used since Richard Cheese sang a parody song with that title on the Opie & Anthony show over 15 years ago. Not linking it here since the song is extremely offensive but YouTube is your friend.

Methinks the point is for them to sound as dumb as possible.
