kind of twisted way to say. It's a negative expression,
- Japanese
からみつく literally means
‘Twine around something’, ‘cling to something’ or ‘stick to something’.
So it’s describing
‘the way someone is talking in which his words could twine around and stick to the person he is talking to’ or something like that.
As you could imagine, if someone talks to you that way, you would feel uncomfortable and annoyed, and would feel like wiping off those invisible sticky things around you.
This is the feeling this expression conveys, I think.
