Contrast YouWouldntHitAGuyWithGlasses. Not to be confused with the expression "Hold my beer" or "Hold my drink" -- though, sure, that could be expressed as "Hold my ''glass''" -- which started out as part of a stock joke format and then turned into an Internet meme, although the ideas involved are similar. ("Hold my beer" is said by someone in a joke or story just before they do something suicidally foolish, not ''usually'' involving getting into a fight.)

* In ''Creator/JackieChan's Who Am I?'', Jackie eventually gets into a fight with ThoseTwoBadGuys on a rooftop. As Jackie takes advantage of how one of them is wearing a jacket, tie, earrings, etc., the other guy immediately starts removing them.
