Was Tyler Durden's "question of etiquette" a common adage? - Inspirational Message on Blue Concrete Pavement

When Tyler Durden got up after meeting the Narrator (AKA Jack), he stated the following:

Now, a question of etiquette – as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?

This was in reference to getting up out of his seat and scooting past Jack, asking if his buttocks or pelvic area should face him. Is this a common thing to say in similar situations, or did Chuck Palahniuk write this?



Best Answer

Would anyone actually discuss this? No, most likely not. It's more like an inner dialogue, like handing another person a pair of scissors you always point the blade towards yourself.

Tyler and the narrator, after all, were the same person, so voicing an inner dialogue makes sense.
