Try and Make Me......

I hope somebody can answer this question --- it has been bothering me off and on for quite a while.

The question is: Why do people say/write the following: "Try and make me."

Now, it's my thinking that the person is really saying, "If you try, you will make me..." do something, etc.

So, Try And? Or Try to make me?

I'm just sayin'.....
