You are really going to get it!

Oftentimes, said in anger, a parent will use this phrase in a desperate attempt to get an unruly child to obey.

Parent: "What did I tell you about talking to me like that? You know darn well that when you talk to me in that tone of voice it really annoys me. You are really going to get it!"

Child: " You have been saying that to me for the last 13 years. What is it that I am really going to get, cuz I haven't gotten "it" yet! LOL
