Standing your ground in the face of a threat.

Hopefully you will never need to use it, but just in case here you go.

"Meul muk khnyom aoii chom(jom). Please note that the "o" in chom isn't
the full o sound but similar to the o sound in the French word "école".
The meaning of the idiom is I'm not afraid of you, but a more literal translation is look at me straight in the face(when you say that). Another meaning of "chom" comes from the game of darts where it means "bullseye". Strongly suggested that you use it only when prepared to back it up.

you shouldn't need any words to get that point across if you do maybe you should rethink your options

I do not make language posts to teach people how to live, but familiarize them with the living spoken Khmer. Anyway, use it in your next dart game..

And then say a jek.

A shouting at the local market, the source of most of my stolen idioms and no I was not involved.

At my age I walk away, even watching a fight upsets me.

Strangely enough at my age,74, I kinda miss it, but also at my age I'm wise enough to not confuse nostalgia with reality.
