Same usage in Spanish. I made a mistake in the Zona Rosa of Mexico City 
many years ago, rushing to some destination and thinking I could go back 
and buy the T-shirt later. But the store was closed later and I never 
got back another day.

The red T-shirt had a perfect looking duplicate of the Coca-Cole logo, 
except it said Come-Caca.

Come is an imperative form of comer - to eat.

What can I say? I was much younger then ...
