excuse me
A phrase meaning either:
1. "You are in the general vicinity of where I wish to travel, so get the HELL out of the way before I knock you over."
2. "I don't really care what you're doing at this moment, but I demand you pay attention to me."
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between the two.
