Can you not? 

A short phrase utilized primarily by highly intelligent and sophisticated human beings, especially those with two X chromosomes. Unlike the also popular "Can you not...", this unique phrase ends immedietely after "not" and may be phrased both as a question and as a statement. The speaker should assume that whomever he/she is conversing with is completely aware of the misdemeanor.
Matthew has just provoked Jackie and she is mildly annoyed and amused (but mostly annoyed).

Jackie & Eva (in unison): Can you not?
Can you not? by Jackie Funshine December 12, 2008

you can choose what you eat, you can not choose what you shit 

the ridiculous condition of a winner politician who blames the former administrations, to justify the mere fact he is definitely unable.
Who does politics can choose the party to play with, the arguments to fight with, and the equivocal reasons to explain to the electorate, but can not choose the "favourite" priorities, budget deficits, environmental emergencies, and other embarrassing situations.
POLITICIAN: It's not my fault. The former mayor left a huge amount of budget deficit.
TV REPORTER (live): No, man: you can choose what you eat, you can not choose what you shit.
