Southern expression

What does the term "tell em where you got it" mean?
  

Top answer

As a Yankee, I might take it to mean: be sure to let everyone know where (it) came from; be sure to let the authorities know where you're hiding something; where you were shot; etc. Context might help even the southerners with this one.
