If you cut off your arm instead of going ‘spurt, spurt, spurt’ wouldn’t it, like, go nuts? Or would it go with the beat of your heart?

Meaning of the quote

This quote is asking a silly and imaginative question about what would happen if someone cut off their arm. It suggests that the arm might either act strangely and unpredictably ("go nuts"), or it might continue to move in rhythm with the person's heartbeat. The quote uses humorous and exaggerated language to make this bizarre idea seem even more absurd and amusing.
