Don't sting tone me.

Jerry stung toned Kim yesterday and they got into a fight.

I heard it in a video but couldn't find it on the internet. Is there any word like "sting tone" or "stung tone"?

Could you please check this video. Arnab Goswami is an Indian journalist and he is slamming the spokesperson of a party that made a derogatory remark for the soldiers and the country. Please go to 1:13 and listen. He repeats it several times. Please check it.

It sounds like "don't try to shut something something". Sorry, I can't decipher what they are saying.

Okay, but thanks for your effort but it sounded like "stung tone" to me he repeats it several times but that other person kept saying something in between so that wasn't so clear.

"Do not try to stomp on me again". Maybe?

I can't make any sense of the original but with some changes to the first three words, it's possible to make a grammatically correct sentence.

Jerry's tone stung Kim and they got into a fight.

That would mean that the tone of voice Jerry used had a negative impact on Kim.

I hear the speaker clearly and repeatedly saying "Don't try that stunt on me again."

The first one is very unclear but after that, it's clearly "Don't/Do not try that stunt on me again".

I stopped short of listening after the first one but now I listen to him repeating it, it is clear
