No, he was going for 'bananas' in the shop window, trying to provoke me.

Hmm. Not sure if Wonderist is cracking a joke or not.

You might want to check your rhyming slang.

I've also seen this. One example was a few days ago, when I called Cunt "touchy". The very next day, Meyers's "Spokesgay" used the phrase "touchy, touchy touchy".
