Its definitely not something useful in negotiation . . .


being butthurt over something is a colloquial term for being sore about something... it is not a derogatory or offensive phrase. If someone get's butthurt over it's usage they are being overly sensitive.  - M.

First definition I found on the interthingy:

"An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult. Characterized by strong feelings of shame. Frequently associated with a cessation of communication and overt hostility towards the "aggressor."

Seems a better fit for the OP.
