The phrase "You tell em" is one of many sarcastic remarks which can be used to abruptly end a conversation. If you do not feel like responding to a certain person or your laughing at a complete idiot/moron/goon throwing out a "You tell em" will shut them up or induce a very interesting response.
Example:
Complete Idiot with glasses- "Actually Mr. Peeeeuuuurrrrd, I ate 7 apples for breakfast, not 6."
You- "ay you tell em pal"
A moron is walking in the hallway talking to his friend who is even more of a goon.
You- Point and say the famous catchphrase "You tell em" Then walk away.

Tell 'em I died game
Apocryphal last words, often attributed to the bushranger Ned Kelly. Since entered Australian culture.
Several meanings.
1. Expression of defiance - similar to other laconic sayings in history, such as Leonidas' "Molon labe". Essentially, declaring unrepentant devotion to values by which one lived, or, at least, a refusal to die in a cowardly or ignominious fashion.
2. Ironic inversion of the above - jokey way of declaring submission, often in an aside to bystanders.

...and tell 'em Pat Summerall sent you
You can indeed say dat to da staff at da local True Value Hardware store, but good luck on getting any discounts or other "preferential perks" as a result.
