I use that phrase and have for a very long time!
I had never heard it until Ozy used it a few months ago on here. In fact, I've only heard it on BOTB.
Must find some way to work into my regular vocabulary.

Butthurt is a GREAT word.
Generally, it is used when someone is teasing and it gets taken too personally, "Aw, don't get all butthurt".
As far as origin, I have no idea. I got it from DH and Mrs.S2008
