Basically saying do it or don't,it just matters on what happens on one of those choices. If you or someone else is not really wanting to do something, but at the same time you technically can do that thing, that's where the phrase "You either do or don't" comes into play.
Example 1: Someone that works can get up to go to work, but they don't want to, if someone else says or that person remembers the phrase "You either do or don't", they will think about the outcomes of either decision, therefore proceeding with one of the choices depending on how they want it to play out.
Example 2: Have better eating habits to better your health or keep up bad eating habits and then your health declines

Get the You either do or don'tmug. What the manager of an antiques-restoration shop specializing in post-Renaissance-era pieces tells a trainee while surveying a recently-delivered assortment of vintage art and furniture.
To ensure that we don't become overwhelmed with antiques that need TLC, I always tell my repairmen to just stick to pieces dating from the early 1600's through the mid-1700's --- "If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it, boys --- we'll send all the items from other periods elsewhere for refurbishing."

Get the If it ain't Baroque, don't fix itmug. Similar to "Don't rain on my parade". No one wants piss in their butter (obviously) so it insinuates someone ruining a situation.
After cooking for 3 hours, my friend complained about the napkins so I said "Don't piss on my butter!"

Get the don't piss on my buttermug. to be used when someone is complaining about something, especially a product that behaves in a way they think it shouldn't, and especially when you (the person they're complaining to) don't care. First use: was Apple's response to complaints about the signal drop when the iphone is held a certain way.
Person A: Oh my god, this stupid video game is totally broken - it's killing me every time I try to move past this door!
Person B: Well, don't hold it that way.
Person B: Well, don't hold it that way.

Get the i don't speak englishmug. Usually used in situations where fucking around is not permitted. Hardcore "non-fuckers" will often let people know of their "fucking" status by constantly letting them know by saying "Yo, I'm not fucking around here." They might even apply it to specific examples such as, "I was most definitely not fucking around on that test." People who do fuck around are often looked down upon, unless they can justify the act of fucking around that they were doing, are doing, or are planning to do. A few examples of the justification of fucking around are: if it is the first day of a month (especially if that day is a friday), if it's raining on Boston on the day the fucking around is occurring, if physical education is taking place on that day. Justifications must be completely outlandish, but they also must be said with a completely serious face or else you will have been caught fucking around and further ridiculed for doing so.
