Hi everyone,
I don't know if here's the right place to ask such questions, but since vulgarity is an inseparable part of any language I'm curious to know the expression that fits this context:
Imagine A and B are having a very angry argument.A threatens B to say put him in jail or any other threat of that sort. B in return says something like: "You're not able to do it" in a very confident and rather rude way.
I'm looking for a phrase that fits this fierce context. A sarcastic question would also help, like " who are you to...?"
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Not a teacher, nor a native.
Yet I cannot think of any casual phrase that will fit your purposes, I am sure there will be answers from teachers and/or natives.
Nevertheless, let me give you a piece of advice to watch contemporary movies.
They have a lot of swear words across different situations so that you would be an expert
Regards, Alex.
If I've understood you correctly, person A is threatening to put person B in jail, but person A wants to say that he doesn't believe that person B is capable of that, or something similar.
A: I'm gonna put you away.
B: Oh yeah? You and whose army?
A: You're going down.
B: I'd like to see you try.
Interesting. In AmE, we'd say "you and what army?"
Hello.
Could you please make that expression clearer , 'You, and what/whose army?' (just for such people as me :) ).
I tried to fancy some pictures of that but it just wouldn't work out in terms of what I know.
Thanks, Alex.
It basically goes like this:
A: I am going to get you/kill you/hurt you/put you away/get you imprisoned.
B: Really? Well, I don't believe that you are capable of doing that alone. You will need an army to help you. So who is going to lend you an army? It will require the strength of you (person A) and a whole army to be able to kill/hurt/subdue me/ put me in prison.
B just says all of the above in a very short form: You and whose army?
Thanks for your thorough explanation, emsr2d2![]()
