A less-than-pleasant hint or suggestion regarding someone's connective-tissue.
Body-builders detest being asked what energy-drinks they use; in said athletes' minds, the asker's insinewation is that they are relying on said proteins/electrolytes to help them to "bulk up" artificially, rather than just gradually building their impressively-ample muscles through workouts alone.

The pint-sized sibling of the famous ancient scholar. Yeah, Compton's Encyclopedia never took the time to tell you about him in middle school... shame on them. He was just as worthy and important as Ptallemy.
Pshortemy always looked up to (figuratively AND literally!) his much-more-prolific senior brother; this "tol-ler"-statured sibling did use his vast smarts/abilities to build "little brother" a nice pair of stilts, though, so we know that Big Bubba had a loving/caring side, and didn't let his fame go to his head too much.

An "upper mucky-muck" position on da corporate ladder which requires/allows a staffperson holding said lofty title to direct assorted verbal barbs and snide remarks at his underlings.
Da stupidly-macho Red Green definitely held a manajeerial position over his initially-spineless and annoyingly-nerdy nephew Harold, but eventually Red had to grudgingly acknowledge dat Harold was actually much wiser and more sensible/realistic than he himself was.

Everyone should be forgiven for an occasional grouchy remark or noisy outburst, but there's seldom any excuse for a habitchual offender... if he really feels that wound up and irritable all the time, he should seek professional help for his own sanity and that of everyone around him.
