About This Quote

“What’s that supposed to mean? A wolf’s head on a stick. Big wolf barbecue tonight? Bring your own wolf?” is another example of common idioms that reflect the culture of the place in which they originated. Wolves are known for being ferocious monsters. The phrase sounds like a tongue-in-cheek question, but it is actually an expression of shock or surprise. It means “What’s that supposed to mean?” The use of the word "supposed" to express surprise indicates that this is not something that should be taken seriously.
