    Never fear! The grammar fairy is here! 🧚🏼‍♀️

    “all but hurt” means that he felt all of the emotions EXCEPT for hurt.

    “all butt hurt” is probably what you meant, but would still need a hyphen (i.e. all butt-hurt) to distinguish between being a figure of speech vs his entire buttocks literally hurting.

    Grammar fairy flies off to rescue the next fellow in need 🧚🏼‍♀️
