A command that is blurted out, usually angrily, by
one individual to another as a condemnation of the latter'
s behaviour, actions or poor
choice of
words. Those who indict another with such a phrase normally do so if the
said individual has severely offended or insulted them, and are calling upon the individual to think about what they have done and atone for their lack of judgement.
Variations of this phrase, such as "Check yo self foo!" and "Check yo self before ya wreck yo self" are also used to communicate the same message: correct your behaviour (idiot/before you get in trouble)
