'''Barf''': Holy shit! }}

* In the otherwise eminently forgettable horror movie ''[[Film/Seven Days To Live|Seven Days To Live]]'', the main character attempts at one point to defend herself from her (driven insane by the movie's evil house) husband by stabbing him in the midsection with a screwdriver.

== [[Literature]] ==

* Used without the [[Berserk Button]] in a Star Wars NJO novel. [[Proud Warrior Race|Barabel]] Jedi Tesar Sebatyne gets shot during a boarding action. Leia asks how bad it is. The response? "Bad... my best robe. This really ''burns'' me." Then he laughs and goes to kick all kinds of rear, [[Badass|since that's how Barabels are]].

* Used as a [[Major Injury Underreaction]] in ''[[Discworld ~~(Literature)~~/The Truth|The Truth]]'', by Otto Chriek. When he's stabbing in the chest by {{spoiler|William's father}} in the climax, his response is irritation that he can't keep his nice shirts clean.

* In [[The Beverly Hillbillies]], Mr. Dreisdale's (Jed's Banker who wishes to keep the titular Hillbillies happy) first introduction to Jed Clampet (the patriarch) is when he grabs a ruffian who was holding up the workers at the Clampet estate and asks if he knew of Jed Clampet. Jed's response is along the lines of "I am Jed Clampet and I'd appreciate it if you let go of my Sunday shirt." In a very (uncharacteristically) angry tone.

* Played with in an episode of ''[[~~Get Smart (TV)|~~Get Smart]]''. Max is losing a fencing duel against wheelchair-bound evil mastermind Leadside, until Leadside slices one of the buttons off Max's shirt.

* Related, though not quite fitting as it's not a human destroying it: one ''[[Seinfield]]'' episode features Jerry lamenting the slow death of "Golden Boy", his best shirt, slowly fading to the point of being unwearable due to overwashing.

* How about The Doctor from [[~~Doctor Who (TV)|~~Doctor Who]]? The Ninth doctor had an amazing passion for his black leather jacket, and the Tenth Doctor was very attached to the coat he got from Janis Joplin, always making sure to tell people not to "hurt" it, since well it was a present.
