Define 'arsking for it".

The above is just my idea of a Londoner saying 'asking for it'
It is no more complicated than that. Mind you, I will readily
concede that it is probably never right to say that Someone
is actually 'asking' for a kicking.

Of course, I refuse to justify such a preposterous notion,
while recognising that it is manifestly often a reason
for a kicking bring delivered.

Like Seimi, I rather think I had no choice in the matter. They may be short but, hey, they get me there just the same.
As My Auld Grannie used to say,

The puir wee flech haes nane ava,
