you can't handle the truth

Expression first popularised by Jack Nicholson in the character of Col. Nathan R. Jessep in A Few Good Men (1992, dir. Rob Reiner), when he blows up in court in Tom Cruise's face. Handy exclamation to direct at the computer screen when somebody votes down an eminently rational definition on urbandictionary. Parodied by Sideshow Bob in an episode of The Simpsons ("Pish! I deride your truth-handling abilities!").
Kaffee: I want the truth!
Jessep (yells): You can't handle the truth!

Don't Bring The Brullox If You Can't Handle The Rullex 

When a "self-proclaimed rapper" gets high, then pissed off and tries to rhyme the words "brawl" and "ruckus," the words must be changed into words that don't exist, thus, "Don't bring the brawl if you can't handle the ruckus" becomes "Don't bring the brullox if you can't handle the rullex."
"Don't bring the brullox if you can't handle the rullex."
