"Gnamo", typical Tuscan expression

What it means and why it is used

The Tuscan dialect is one of the most colorful and shuffling.
Although almost all in the dictionary of the Italian language, there are expressions that only the Tuscans recur. Gnamo? one of these!

 

But what does this mean and why is it used?
"Gnamo?" is used in Tuscany as a colloquial form of the imperative "come". For example, the Tuscans tend to talk to each other with "during, it's getting late!".

While for example the "during" in the following sentence "But gnamo?! What speeches do you do? " translates as" don't do this speeches".
