Hi, 'Punk' is a slang term, although I note that it has made its way into my dictionary, as a noun meaning a young male who deserves contempt and is unimportant. It appears in the term 'punk rock' meaning music made by such people, that is supposed to upset and outrage normal people. A relatively new meaning is this: there is now a TV show called 'Punk'd', which describes playing an elaborate practical joke on someone as 'punking' the person.

Or, another thought is perhaps it just means 'don't upset me by becoming a punk, acting like one, dressing like one, and so on'.
