What is what does it mean when someone says bite me?

The phrase "bite me" is generally considered a slang expression that conveys strong disdain, defiance, or contempt. It's a rude and dismissive way of telling someone to go away, leave you alone, or that you don't care about their opinion or request.

Essentially, it's a more aggressive and impolite version of phrases like:

• "Get lost"
• "Leave me alone"
• "I don't care"
• "Buzz off"
• "Screw you"

The connotation is often hostile and should be used with caution as it can easily escalate a conflict. While sometimes used playfully between close friends, the intent is usually clear from the context and tone of voice. The phrase alludes to an animalistic, aggressive act of being bitten, further emphasizing the speaker's desire to be left undisturbed.
