African-American slang for challenging someone to a fistfight or getting into a fighting stance — essentially an invitation or call to square up. The 'square' references a boxing stance where combatants face each other in a ready position, feet shoulder-width apart, fists up. Telling someone to catch a square means you're done talking and ready to handle things physically. It's a confrontational phrase that signals escalation, used as both a challenge issued and a response to aggression.
He kept talking trash until Marcus finally stood up and told him to catch a square if he really wanted to go.
