Whatever *That* Was

Social expressions are so funny we almost forgot to laugh. Seriously. I still hear, from time to time, little interactions like these ones I heard among kids and adults growing up. Home schooled children may be missing out on some of these rich proclamations.

Such as:

Give it back!
You take that back!
Say you don't mean it!
Mine!

And older kids/adults:

Get out of my face!
Get off my back!
Get out of my hair!
That's none of your business!
Get out of my business!
Give me a [modified -ing] break!
He [or she] is being a real a pain in the [X, Y or Z].
Do you hear me?
You heard me.

All of these make me chuckle -- as an observer.

Some people just can't fathom [or phantom or famine] such social interactions. How about you?
