Come through you Explanation: This is more of a threat considering the person would forcefully open the door in order to confront the person. Do not confuse "come through you" with "coming through for someone"...the latter means helping out but the former is a threat Example sentence(s):

attack / assail you Explanation: My impulse tells me that this is what the person means. It sounds like he/she is becoming irate because either the other person will not open the door, or suspects that they might not. It reminds of the slang expression, "to rip someone apart". So the outside guy is recommending that if he does not want his front door broken down, he had better open it. I.E. the outside guy is after the inside guy for something, whether this is a verbal confrontation or a physical one, I do not know yet. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2022-03-11 15:48:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Similar usage can be seen in the description of a similar conversation in a book review: " 'Don’t pick a fight with me, you won’t come out alive. I'LL GO RIGHT THROUGH YOU, and you’ll end up on the floor.’ " https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v40/n04/michael-wood/at-the-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2022-03-11 16:00:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here is an example of the "rip" idea: "Just how did this 'threat' play itself out? Conrad is purported to have said 'I am going to f-kg kill you! I will g-kg RIP THROUGH YOU!' And 'I will fucking own anyone on this flight; they are fucking peasants!' Threatening anyone with death is not a nice thing to do under any circumstances....." https://graziadaily.co.uk/celebrity/news/stupid-shit-conrad-... |
