steppin' razor

"Walking weapon", as in "I'm a walking straight-razor", don't you watch my size (be mislead by my small stature)

If you wanna live, live
I beg you treat me good
I'm like a walking razor
Don't you watch my size
I'm dangerous
- Lyrics to "Steppin' Razor by Joe Higgs, recorded by Peter Tosh

4. A forum member who writes with vitriolic wit and aggression.

1. If you start shit with that steppin' razor, don't be surprised when you have to pick your tongue up off the floor.

2. Cut me a bump with that steppin razor.
