Anyone know the meanings behind old sayings, ex., Away yay go, al take ma hand aff yer jaw, or?

Question

Just wait till I see him, he!ll hear me. or there!s many a slip between the cup and the lip, .,,,, Just wait to he comes in he!ll not see what I!ll give him.., any more like this heard these earlier tonight.

Answer 1

I reckon that's 'Away you go, or I'll take my hand off your jaw'

In order to take your hand off, you have to put it there, so it's: "Go away or I'll punch you'

'Just wait till I see him, he'll hear me' - 'when I next see him, I'll yell at him'

'many a slip twixt cup and lip' is a famous old saying, meaning lots of things can go wrong between two close events - in this case between filling a cup and drinking.

'Just wait till he comes in, he'll not see what I give him' - again a threat: 'When he arrives, I'll hit him so fast he won't see it coming'

If all these sayings were part of the same conversation, then whoever they're talking about is clearly in for a chewing out or even a beating. Though to be fair, this sort of talk is often tougher than the actions. It sounds like parents grumbling over their kid, frankly.
