Based on a comic strip of the same name drawn by Kurt Cobain, this song is about the stereotypical macho man Cobain often encountered during his adolescence in Aberdeen, a small logging community in Seattle. Nirvana has a few other songs about this as well.
The song title doesn't appear in the lyrics. "I've never had any reason to name any of my songs," frontman Kurt Cobain explained in the Nirvana biography Come As You Are by Michael Azerrad. "That's the only difference between alternative rock bands and cock-rock bands. Alternative rock bands name their songs with titles that don't have anything to do with the song or the chorus."
