Don't Tase Me, Bro!

In reference to Andrew Meyer being tasered at the Univervisy of Florida. Synonymous with "get off my case" or "give me a break." If someone is bustin' your balls, and you want them to lay off.
Mike: "Hey man, you sure are a dumbass for fucking it up with that hot chick last night.

Derek: "Hey, don't tase me, bro! I was drunk!"

don't tase me, bro!

A plea for mercy, as in "Please don't taser, beat, kick, shoot, etc... me." An ironic warring about the use of excessive force, even if the person screaming it was asking for it.

(Term from the Florida student who cried out the phrase.)

don't tase me, bro

From the iconic video of the student question-asker being TASERed, the phrase has come to be synonomous to "lay off, man." It is a minor exclamation of unreasonableness.
"I'm pissed that you missed that goal today."
"Don't tase me, bro."
