In "Some statement. This!", what does the "This!" mean? [closed]
I have seen a expression or phrase of the following form:
Some statement. This!
The "This!" seems to be something like an acknowledgement.
Is there a more verbose explanation or translation of it?
Solution 1:
Person A: In the Monty Python sketch, why didn't the woman like spam?
Person B: Have you ever eaten spam? It's horrible! She wanted something without spam.
Person C: It's horrible! This!
What person C is saying is that the statement before "This!" summarises the argument perfectly and that they agree with it 100%. They believe that the statement is sufficient by itself to wrap up the discussion.
