I've never heard this saying. I do know, "Sticks and stones may break my bones..." Where did you hear this?

Sticks and stones may break my bones (but words will never hurt me). something that you say which means that people cannot hurt you with bad things they say or write about you. example: Criticism has never bothered me. Sticks and stones may break my bones, and all that...

The sentence does not make sense to me. However there is a saying which is common in English, especially with children: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me". IF someone "calls you a name" (which means, "insults you"), you can say this to them. It means, you can hurt me if you hit me with a stick, or throw a rock at me, but calling me a name has no effect. Thus, any time we see "sticks and stones", we automatically think of this saying - which I think every American person knows. I do not think it means "all"...

"Your sticks and stones fill your body and boots" is a song lyric (Katy Perry's "Part of Me"), which is a song about leaving an abusive relationship: Your sticks and stones fill your body and boots / But you're not gonna break my soul The lyric, as Andrew suggests, is part of a much older expression "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me". It's a defiant call against bullies.
