I was born after this movie was released so I’ve only ever seen it on TV. For years I swore the “Eat my shorts” was a tv edit for “Eat my shite,” until I watched it on a streaming service and realized it wasn’t.

There was a time when they used to edit the line from "eat my shorts" to "eat my socks." I remember seeing it on TBS once and doing a double take.
