a sarcastic way of expressing disgust to someone; akin to telling someone where to go

Etymology:

  • After the phrase "Stick it where the sun don't shine" was coined, instead of saying the actual phrase, people would allude to it by instead saying, "You know what you can do with it." The assumed answer would be that they should stick it where the sun don't shine.
