"I'll show top dog what for with this trap." I keep reading that sentence and I still don't get what she's saying. Glad she's dead.  |

To "show someone what for" is an old idiom meaning that the speaker intends to injure someone in retribution for some wrongdoing. You can replace "show" with "give" and it retains the same meaning. I'm surprised you've never heard it, but I suppose it could be regional.

I suppose it could be regional. Must be, I honestly never heard it. I'm thinkin' it would make more sense if I heard it rather than read it.  |

It's extremely outdated now, but when people actually used that phrase it must have been a Southern thing. Perhaps that's why I made Shifty Girl say it, because I made her an old-timey barefoot hillbilly stereotype for some reason.
Edit: Your signature made me sad, Whips.

If it's any consolation, I've lived in Ohio all my life and I've heard the phrase before, although I'm not sure exactly where. Maybe Silly doesn't get out much? Or maybe I don't get out much. It's probably the latter.
You've got it try it Byron, BEST BRAND SODA™ really is the best.

Ohio is America's heartland, and Texas is America's America. Our accents are the language of freedom and patriotism. You ivory tower Hollywood East coast liberal communists talk like that because you hate America.

She seems to be a bit obsessed about getting that Top Dog.
