Men try to rob woman who turns out to be an MMA fighter.
Quote:
Two men attempted to steal MMA fighter Monique Bastos and her friends’ phones while they were on their way to training in Acailandia, Brazil.
.....
She happily held him in a triangle choke for 15 minutes until the police arrived, while he freaked out and cried uncle. Meanwhile, her friends went through the guy’s wallet to ID him.
He didn't say "uncle", he said "help me father!".
He said "Help me, father, help me Lord. I want my mother, HELP!"
Quote:
In the United States and Canada, the idiomatic expression "Say or cry 'uncle'!" may be used as an imperative command to demand submission of one's opponent, such as during an informal wrestling match. Similarly, the exclamation "Uncle!" is an indication of submission – analogous to "I give up" – or it may be a cry for mercy, in such a game or match.
cry uncle
To admit defeat and/or plead for mercy, especially in an informal physical contest of some kind. The brothers often play fought, but it was invariably the younger of the two who had to cry uncle by the end.
