"Oh no you di’nt!" What's going on here?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) December 17th, 2008

It seems to me that “oh, no, you didn’t” actually means “yes you did.” But then it adds some kind defiance, like you shouldn’t have done it, or I can’t believe you did that, yet coupled with some weird kind of admiration.

Can anyone give me more insight on this phrase? Where did it come from? What does it really mean?
