I'll explain and I'll use small words so you'll be sure to understand. Why would I fight you due to random comments about automakers? [snip] Savvy?

It's a figure of speech.
Quote:
Figure of speech
A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is an intentional deviation from ordinary language, chosen to produce a rhetorical effect. Figures of speech are traditionally classified into schemes, which vary the ordinary sequence or pattern of words, and tropes, where words are made to carry a meaning other than what they ordinarily signify.Wikipedia
