We often hear suah an expression: Come on! But in different situation it has different meanings. SO i want to know the different meanings about "Come on".Thank you very much.
It might express incredulity: "Oh, come on."--meaning that your interlocutor doesn't believe you. It might express defiance: "Come on, tough guy."--meaning that one is not intimidated by a threat which has been made. It might simply be inclusive: "You're going to the beach? Can i come?" "Sure, come on." It might express impatience: "We've been waiting for you for a half hour, come on!"
There are many possible meanings. It is not, by any means, an important or frequently used locution, however.
It may also express bewilderment - "You truly believe that? Come on...?"
