A phrase originating from Jamaican artist, Vybz Cartel. An insult, really, touch a button insinuates that you can't do anything about your current situation, and are in a position of weakness. Synonymous with get mad, and do something, touch a button is kinda like a threat, daring you to do something. Used by Trinis and people all over the Caribbean.
