n.

Taunt against someone who was angry or expressed annoyance. Usually pronounced with the "A" sound prolonged which made it even more annoying; eg X says "Give me back my pencil!", Y responds "Axe!", X- "Give it back now!", Y and others "AAAAAxe!" etc...

Probably comes from the concept of a psychopath carrying out an axe attack; sometimes used in the longer more placatory form "OK, OK, don't have an axe attack!". Various private and public schools in the Cambridge area. (ed: I reckon it's just 'ask' mispronounced, but what do I know?).
