eat shit and die

The definative definition after twenty years of hearing it used in context: "I command you to eat shit (which is the most putrid experience one can imagine as a living being) and then die (which many view as the most undesirable state of being--curiously worse than eternal torture, unless dying and going to hell are synonymous). It represents an ill feeling toward another where simply eating excrement does not do justice to offense given, nor is dying: both must be experieced to satisfy vengence.
