I recently came across this phrase that has me a bit stumped.
"やることやってんじゃん、このこの!"
(sentence found on a site... which I can't post the url to at this time :/ ... not enough points... :( )
With my limited knowledge, I'm guessing that it basically says/reads: "Don't be doing the things that I do"...
or perhaps more appropriately,
"Don't be doing anything that I wouldn't do."
(I hope that's correct. 😅 )
However I'm mostly not sure how to approach the phrase "このこの". (This this? You you? you kid you?)
I haven't found anything definite through Goo dictionary, nChiku, nor Google. :cry:
Can someone please assist? Many thanks in advance.
 
I think it's more like "I'm doing what I do, you you!" Or maybe it's "I'm doing what I have to do". I can't say I recall seeing この used like this, though. My best guess is it's repeated to avoid a taboo, like 野郎 or 畜生 or something.
 
I appreciate your input, Glenn.
ありがとうございました!:)
 
Very close, but it's more likely "You've done what you want to do/what you should do" or something along the line. It's often used in a situation bantering about the relationship between lovers.😌
 
Ah, I had the subject wrong. Well, that's a good phrase to know. :p
 
Thank you very much, Toritoribe. I think I have a better understanding of that web-page now.
ありがとうございました!:)
