I’d like to propose that we permanently retire the phrase “tore me a new one” and all its its variants as a means of describing a situation in which a person or persons have been savagely berated or abused by another person.
The idea that someone would be berated or abused so badly that it would result in an additional anus is not only illogical, but it’s fairly disgusting.
There are better ways to describe situations like this without adding to the digestive system in the process.
Can we all agree that there is no place for this unfortunate phrase in our modern day lexicon?
