Andrew Everard:
the_lhc:you've never heard the expression "talk to the hand cos the face ain't listening"
No: what does it actually mean?
EDIT: Ah, I see, it is aggressive: 'It originated as a contemptuous way of saying that no one is listening, and is often elongated to a phrase
such as "Talk to the hand, because the ear's not listening". Also, in
regions south, "Talk to the hand because the face don't understand!"
'The sentence is often considered to be a sarcastic or obnoxious phrase. It is usually accompanied by the gesture of extending one arm toward
the other person, with the palm of that hand facing the person being
insulted, in the manner of the gesture to stop.'
In other words, you were suggesting I shut up. Thanks for that.
No, actually, I wasn't. You said I was being macho, which I wasn't, I was simply repeating the phrase used in the link I posted, so I, in an attempt at humour (which seems a long way in the past now...) replied with about the campest, most un-macho phrase I could think of, to indicate that I am not and was not attempting to be macho.
If you choose to blow it out of all proportion by accusing me of things that I'm simply not doing then that's your problem, not mine.
