Bite my shiny metal ass! is Bender's trademark catchphrase. He uses it mostly as a running gag whenever he is annoyed with someone. The words are part of Bender's top five most used words, with the exception of "metal", which was substituted with "daffodil".[1] He uses it in different variations depending on the situation. This phrase was also Bender's first ever line on the show, in the very first episode, "Space Pilot 3000".
