Simi, do you have a context?

I've never heard it before.

Oh, yes, i'd read this in a book.

This guy dumps his girlfriend and this was what she says angrily to him.

Which word do you not understand?  ass refers to what you sit on, if that's what you don't understand.  Otherwise it's nearly self-explanatory.  Of course it makes no sense, any more than it would make sense to tell someone to jump down his own throat.
