  8luh 8luh.

  But if your ass was made of candy someone might try to eat it and that might hurt, also none of your trousers would fit any more.

  And the ones that still did would be all sticky and gross.

  Pansy is actually a false attribution.  It's a variant of a French loanword meaning "to think" and has nothing to do with the flower (which was named using the same French word but centuries later and under completely different context) -- though it is sexist, homophobic, and anti-intellectual because it's not a good insult until it offends at least three groups.
