I go shopping. I buy a passion fruit.
When I get to the till, the cashier asks me what the passion fruit is. Thinking it'll save me some money, I tell him it's a tomato.
"Tomato my ass!" he demands. So I do. I jump over the till and thoroughly tomato his ass.
Apparently he didn't understand what he was demanding of me. That is a expression he won't use again so flippantly.
