startled earwigs 

A term used to describe an Irish Gaelic football team after they have been heavily defeated by the opposition. Coined in 2009 by Dublin manager Pat Gilroy after his team were annihilated by resurgent underdogs Kerry.
Dublin didn't appear to have a Plan A, never mind B or C. The manager, Pat Gilroy, would later maintain that his players had started the match like "startled earwigs".

While having sex with a girl, you stick a finger in her asshole/poopshoot/brown eye etc.

The important part is getting a little bit of poopie on your finger tip.

Now, as if you were to perform a "Dirty Sanchez" (spreading the shit on her lip/nose) you stick your shit covered finger in her ear.

Proceed to yell "HOLY FUCK ITS A MEXICAN EARWIG!!!"
I guess that bitch doesnt like the mexican earwig...
