In this puzzle I took an English phrase, spaced it differently, then replaced the resulting words with synonyms or definitions. This is an example to show you what I mean.

Spaced out and obfuscated:

that man tape player button self-esteem

Just spaced out:

he (from "that man")
rew (from "tape player button")
ego (from "self-esteem")

Answer:

he rew ego $->$ here we go

Got it? Then all you have to do is apply the same process to the following:

definite article anime first child mucus coffee container within Scot. Eng. Wal. TCP/IP reply
