come at me

Bring it on

Come at me is a taunt inviting confrontation, daring someone to attack or challenge you.

Originally from fighting contexts, it spread through internet culture as a defiant expression of confidence or bravado: You think I'm wrong? Come at me.

Often used playfully or ironically, sometimes extended to come at me, bro.
