"Did I stutter?"--fighting words, during a confrontation. When an insult is lobbed, then the target says, "What did you say?" You can continue the insult, saying, "Did I stutter?", meaning you didn't get it?
(The photo above is very old.) I presently carry out author interviews for the website LitHub.com, but before that I worked as a book columnist for the Newark Star-Ledger from January 2002 to June 2012. I have written for the New York Observer, the New York Post, the Denver Post and other newspapers.
