It’s not a defiant quip in the face of an enemy! It’s a child realizing he has no hope and desperately convincing himself not to dwell on his impending death! It’s a far more powerful line in the original context!
(also it’s apparently a thing George Llewellyn Davies actually just said to J.M. Barrie at one point, which somehow makes it even more powerful)

A slang term (originating on Twitter, as you probably guessed) for obliquely talking about someone behind their back in such a way that you think they won’t see.
For example, if you told me here that you dislike olives on your pizza, and I went on Twitter and posted “God, some people have the stupidest opinions about pizza toppings…”, that’d be a subtweet.
(I would never do that of course, because what other people choose to eat is none of my business.)
