A phrase that is never used literally, but rather is always a response to someone's laughing or
poking fun at a problem the person has reason to be seriously concerned about. Sometimes this
reproach is, itself, used in a half-amused,
bantering way.
"The doctor said that I tested negative for cervical cancer, so I won't be at risk of
infertility after all."
"Good to hear that it didn't render your reproductive organs totally out of
cervix."
"
Well, I'm glad you find this so amusing."
