One of the funniest phrases in the Japanese insult dictionary is "Namenna-yo!" （なめんなよ！）, which literally means "Don't lick me!" but idiomatically means "Don't f*** with me!"
There are several disrespectful ways to say this very usable phrase when you're dancing with some hot Japanese chick and her boyfriend comes up to you and says "Nani wo shiyagaru, kora!" (何をしやがる、こら！） or "What the f*** do you think you're doing!"
There is the aforementioned: Namennayo! (7/10 on the strong scale)
Or: Namennjaneeyo! (8/10)
Or: Nametennayo! (7/10)
OR: Nemennayo, bukkorosuzo! (11/10) "I'll beat you to death!" was added.
This gave birth in the 1980's to a breed of cat - usually photographed in Bosozoku or high school bancho gear, called the Namennaneko (Don't f*** with me cat). Quite the opposite image of Hello Kitty.
