i was talkin like, you know how peeps say "ima bout to open a can of whup-a**." what exactly is in that can that you should be afraid of?

For goodness sake...

It's not a phrase that is supposed to be taken so literally.

A "Can of Wup-@**" was never intended to be taken at being an actual physical object. (although it is funny and popular to actually take a can and put the label "wup-@**" on it as a joke).



The act of opening said can of wup-@** generally means that whomever this metaphorical can is being opened ON is going to take a harsh beating. ...be it by fist, by weaponry or some other manner of being struck down or even defeated in some non-violent manner. ...though the expression generally implies some amount of violence most of the time.



So...if someone tells you that they are going to "Open a Can of Wup-@**", it means that they intend to beat someone up.


...just pray it isn't you.

a boot.
A big freakin boot....with a smily face on it
*shakes head*
I dunno, I'm weird

a dash of salt; a pinch of pepper; 1 1/3 TBsp of olive oil ; one dry pound of nerve agent; 1 stick of butter; a baseball bat; slayer ; a hemi ; and a squeeze of lemon

jeez, vuldari, i know what the phrase means. its just, i saw that picture (the one you posted), and thought "i wonder what would be in a can of whup-a**." forgive me for asking people to answer stupid questions.

lmfao

Heh, I imagine it to be a can opened by someone, giving them the power they need to whip the a** in question...

It's Popeye! (j/k)

I made a product poster for a project last semester. Heh.

Ive never even heard of that term!

Sheesh...could there be any more people drawing cans of whop asses. Hahaha...is that how you pluralize it?

They did. In fact they sponsored the "Team X Box" development crew. The energy drink Whoop a** went out of buisness after a year or two. My can of Whoop a** is cooler though.

Nice can Heh, that sounded odd...

Yeah, Popeye had the original can of whup a**. Its real old skool yall!

With a cherry on top.

spam and some grounded up children, what else?

...steaming bowl of Wolf brand whoop-a**?


...Now that's too long...


Anyway, I suspect contents would include two dozen claw rakes, a dozen hard bites, three lacerations of major vessels, assorted pneumothoracies, acute hemorrhagic shock, monosodium glutamate, LV-W1, and red dye #4.

uhhh.... big words.... ow...
*goes to get asprin

laceration: cut or tear

major vessel: large artery or vein, including the aorta, vena cavae--the blood vessels that come directly off the heart. Cut one and you're basically dead.

pneumothorax: collapsed lung with air trapped in the lung space cavity--a common serious complication of chest trauma

hemorrhagic shock: shock from sudden loss of blood. This leads to low blood pressure, inability to supply the brain or heart with adequate blood flow, passing out, and ultimately dying.

monosodium glutamate: a particular food additive

LV-W1: I made it up. If you're one of the three die-hard, long-term fans of my writing, you might recognize it as the technical name for the strain of lycanthrope virus that Elodea Taylor passes to Scott Gardener, the one that is in the future commonly referred to as the "Elodean line." Kudos to those of you who can spot where it's mentioned. It's not in either of the novels.

A good ol' can a wupass, you ask?

Either Samuel L Jackson quotin' Ezekiel 25:17, or,well,....me on a Monday mornin'.

A slice of lemon, wrapped around a large gold brick.

technically whoopass is in a can of whoopass.....

thats why they call it a "can" of "whoopass"

if its empty its an empty can of whoopass and subsequently an "can" with the whoopass being distributed somewhere else i.e. in the face which then you would have a face full of whoopass when before that it was a face or muzzle in our or my case......o.k. i will shut up now.....
