Twitterati Makes Some Hilarious Jokes On Old Pick Up Line 'Did It Hurt' & It Is Brutal
People on the internet turned the old and cringy pick-up line "did it hurt" into a meme and cracked hilarious jokes on it.
Remember the cringy pick-up line guys used on girls much so often - "Did it hurt?" Usually, this was continued with a cheesy conclusion - "when you fell from heaven."
Well, obviously this decades-old pickup line is still used by many but Twitter has turned this popular line into something that will change the way you hear this cheesy statement.
People on the internet have replaced the "fall from heaven" bit into a joke with statements that can actually feel like a personal attack. Because the first part of the pickup line itself is phrased as a question, it makes it a perfect snowclone, that is, a phrase that can be adapted for different situations by changing only some of the words.
This trend of using different statements after "did it hurt" started in July but it sort of died down there. However, it just picked up a couple of days back and people paraded it with a ton of memes.

For years, that particular pickup line has been the epitome of cringe; if it was used at all, it was usually in a way that mocked itself (or pickup lines in general).
While the original ¡°Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven?" line origin time and source is debated, the first use of it in print has been traced to the Tampa Tribune in 1985 by Word Histories, though even then, The Tampa Tribune recommended against using the line in public.
In 2007, a study published in The Guardian ¡°Male faith in racy chat-up lines misplaced" ¡°called the pickup line a ¡°meaningless compliment" and summed it up by saying it was one of the ¡°chat-up lines that send most women running for the hills." In 2021, the snowclone itself may send all of us into sad boi hours.
