Why Do We Say 'Bite Me' When We're Mad?

Sometimes, when people are mad, they say 'bite me', it’s like telling the other person to go ahead and take a bite out of them! This phrase probably started because someone got angry and said, 'Go on, bite me!' It became a funny way for people to show they're not backing down. You might say this when you're upset with your friend or even your teacher.
