Translation: The [sc. phrase comes] from common usage and current practice. For in conversations with opponents we are accustomed to say 'what are you saying?' -- wishing to perturb them.
Aristophanes in
Clouds [writes]: "how pleased I am at the first sight of your complexion. Now you are initially negative and disputatious to behold; and this local feature is plainly in bloom, the 'what are you saying?', and doing wrong and misbehaving when I know you are seeming to be the victim of wrongdoing; and in your countenance there is an Attic look." The 'look' has been given a form; for they used to criticise the Athenians for shamelessness and being [sc. too] assertive.
