talk to the hand 

"Talk to the hand," sometimes uttered while holding out the hand palm up, is short for the phrase "Talk to the hand because the face isn't listening." It has the same intent as saying, "Don't waste your time with excuses, I don't want to hear about it."
When the employee was late for work and offered an excuse to his boss, the boss shot back, "Talk to the hand," and walked away.

Something that chicks (In their teens, mostly.) say whenever they officially lost a debate.

It is most commonly used by a person with a low IQ, who cant just tell someone to go away by theirself, so they resort to something really stupid and raise their hand in the air.
