问题: have some confused things when watching Ice Age2

at the beginning of the movie:
-no running, camp rules.
-make me, sloth.
-make me, sir. It's all about respect.
what is the meaning of "make me"?

-Hey, Manny, Diego, my bad mammals-jammals.
what is the meaning of mammals-jammals?

-your breath smells like ants.
why like ants?

解答:

1.Make me....

It's said as a challenge "Do you think you can make me obey the rules?" or "Make me obey the rules if you can!"
"小样儿,敢管我?"

2.mammal-jammal:(复数:mammals-jammals)

It is a reduplication of mammals, inspired no doubt by "mama jama" (hip-hop slang meaning "woman"). That and similar forms can be seen here(The link below)
.
指的是"哺乳动物",带有一些戏谑的意味.参见那个(mama-jama),造词法是一样的.

3. breath smells like ants:

People's breath frequently smells like the last thing they ate (garlic, onions...). I guess that whoever is being addressed either just ate ants or is being accused of/teased about eating ants.

这家伙要么就是刚吃完蚂蚁,要么有吃蚂蚁的习性.

"你这个满嘴蚂蚁味的蠢货!"
