What does this sentence mean? It's a serif of "HUDSON" in "Aliens" movie.

Question

Answer

Haha! OK, this is a bit of a funny one to explain. Hudson is a typically macho, overly sexualised character in that film and that line basically means 'stop smiling at me and take off your underwear' but in a rhyme. In the specific scene, he's just found something so it's about being 'ready for action'.

Hope that makes sense :)
