Yeah, it’s awful, man, when a woman screws you up so bad you want to become a squirrel.
— Red Dwarf ‧ 1988
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker agrees, casually, that it is awful when a woman messes someone up so badly that becoming a squirrel seems preferable. The exaggeration treats emotional damage as a reason to escape being human altogether, and the absurd wish keeps the complaint comic rather than tragic.
