@monsterblue It's usually a kind of "performative" pejorative expression now, where the actual meaning doesn't matter (similar to saying "fuck" or "shit" even though no fucking or feces are involved). E.g. there's a well-known joke in Polish about going shopping in foul weather where a mom says "This weather is too bad to send a dog out, dad will go shopping", where the point is that people don't realize the literal meaning of those expressions (or, but that's not how i understood the joke, share your values).
