Internet and informal slang for being excessively annoyed, wounded, or upset about something — often used to mock someone who is overreacting or nursing a bruised ego. A crude riff on 'butthurt,' buttsore leans into the same bodily metaphor to describe emotional sensitivity that others find disproportionate. Commonly deployed in online arguments to dismiss someone who seems unusually agitated about a perceived slight.
He's been buttsore all week because someone left a one-star review on his YouTube channel.
