Pls use this with caution, as the phrase is "wide open" to modification by context. Generally, it'd be very helpful if the askers could cite say a whole paragraph when asking questions, or give some information about the setting, the mood, and the milieu from where the phrase is copied, as most phrases in colloquial language derive a considerable amount of their meaning from the context in which they appear. Just a hint to anybody asking these questions. :-)
