C'mere I tell you a question

exp.

Heard in Limerick

Literally translates to: 'come over here, I want to ask you something,' but it is actually an invitation to hand-to-hand combat.

Mog: "Hoy cuz, what are you gawkin' at? C'mere I tell you a question!" Gowl: "What are you sayin' eh? You come over here an' I'll kick the heart outta ya!"

Posh English

Pardon me old fellow, what are you staring at? Come closer and prepare for fisticuffs!
