I just heard Leo DiCaprio say “I like to get kissed before I get fucked” (fucked as in, screwed over on a deal, not actual sex) in _Blood Diamond._

Al Pacino’s character says virtually the same exact thing (“Kiss me. When I’m getting fucked, I like to get kissed a lot.”) in _Dog Day Afternoon._

What I want to know is, is this an expression that’s in common use, or was it just invented straight up for _Dog Day Afternoon_ and then plagiarised/referenced/homaged in _Blood Diamond?_

Interesting question. It’s a phrase I’ve heard and/or used most of my life. If someone screws you over, you might say, “Aw, damnit, fucked without a kiss.”

Not sure where it came from, though. I’ve probably been saying since I was a pre-teen. _Dog Day Afternoon_, however, predates my arrival on the scene by three years. I’d be interested to know the orgins, too.

I’ve heard it used in conversation before, at least as early as 1987 or so.

“Did the salesman kiss you when you bought that shirt?”

“Uh, no. Why?”

“Well, I like to get kissed before I get fucked.”  
Granted, that was post-_Dog Day Afternoon_, but I can state with certainty that the person who said it had never seen the movie.

I remember hearing it in the late 1970’s.

I’ve heard it, and variants of it, for most of my life.  
One variant: “If you’re gonna fuck me, at least give me a reach-around.”

Oh, it’s far older than that. Cary Grant says it, word for word, to Katherine Hepburn in _Bringing Up Baby_. Right after she destroys his dinosaur skeleton.

Nothing to add to the thread, but why do I love the SDMB? Because someone uses a spoiler box on **Bringing Up Baby**. 🙂

This has to be a regional expression, or at least every region except mine, because I’ve never heard that phrase in conversation, ever! I’ve also never lived anywhere but the northeast.

Most often you’ll hear something like “I just got fucked and he didn’t even use any lube.”

Also “They could have at least bought me dinner before they fucked me.”.

It’s a pretty common meme that probably goes way back in many forms.

Well since we’re veering off onto a side road with this thread…

Drill Instructor Hartman from **Full Metal Jacket** gave us the memorable line:

> [@](#):

> I’ll bet you’re the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-around.

Ah that R. Lee Ermey. What a card!

Nope, it’s used there. I grew up in NW PA, and I’ve heard it/used it or a variant since at least the 60s.

In the “Repo Man” theme, Iggy Pop sings:

_I was a teenage dinosaur  
Stoned and obsolete  
I didn’t get fucked and I didn’t get kissed  
I got so fucking pissed_

R. Lee Ermey in _Full Metal Jacket_, right?

I have no idea how old an expression it is, but I would hazard that it wasn’t invented as part of a movie screenplay. It would have been a common expression before that. That is _just_ a guess, though.

There are two phrases that spring to mind here. One is: _Everything old is new again._

The other? _Better safe than sorry._ 😉
