when something is sick and wrong, even gruesome, but yet somehow still enthralling. One can’t condone or perhaps even accept what one is seeing, but one can’t look away either. Jackass, a public hanging, a NASCAR crash, two girls 1 cup, instant replays of a football injury, much of reality TV.
Dude, that was a bittersick sack LT laid on the Skins quarterback last night! Did you see it? The bone was sticking out of his leg. And they showed the replay over and over. Bittersick.
What that guy ate on Fear Factor last night, that shit was bittersick.
orignally to dog bites, now means that once somebody has gotten hurt or had something go wrong will be afraid to try it again (especially in love)
If you fall in love with someone and that someone rejects or hurts you-once bitten-you may be very, very reluctant-twice shy-to let yourself fall in love again.
the most popular song ever released by the Wigan-based Britrock group The Verve on their third and final album, Urban Hymns. Bitter Sweet Symphony was released in 1997 and features a small sample from a Rolling Stones song which caused Verve to be sued for copyright infringement.
as a side note, the song is also among one of the easiest tunes ever written to become stuck in your head...
