It is from Romeo and Juliet and it has two meanings. A "grave man" means hes going to be dead but it also meant back then that you are a serious person. So basically he meant ask me tomorrow and Ill be serious about it, but really meant, ask me tomorrow and ill be dead.

Mercutio says this after he has been stabbed. It means that he will be dead tomorrow (he will be in his grave, thus the "grave man.") Everyone thinks he is joking at this point, but later on discover he was serious when he is dead.

What do some shakespeare words mean?

Most of the words in Shakespeare mean exactly what you think they mean. For example: "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. 'Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" Tomorrow means tomorrow. Creeps means creeps. Petty mean small and insignificant. Pace means pace. Day means day. Syllable means syllable. Recorded means recorded. Time means time. Yesterdays, lighted, fools, dusty, death, candle, life, walking and shadow all mean what you think they mean. A player is an actor. Strutting we still do, also fretting which is usually accompanied by fussing. An idiot is someone who speaks English and does not understand 95% of the words in Shakespeare.
