"Kiss my grits"?

Or

"Kiss my wrist"?

The latter, IMO, is the more obvious, having a closer rhyme. But they
both seem to be the kind of thing that's spontaneously re-invented
repeatedly by the siver-tongued and others quick with a quip. Very
likely, they've both been around since perchild first swung down from
the trees.
