Don't bring that leg

It is a local slang that means: don't try that with me. Most times, it is used to mean: "you don't have that right"

Don't bring that leg:

What! Don't bring that leg. Don't go there

Get the Don't bring that leg mug.

From Michigan dairy farming. Refers to a dead cow that's buried on its back with its leg protruding out of the ground in order to minimize the size of the hole to be dug. Colloquial use refers to anything that is completely, absolutely dead with no hope whatsoever of it being saved or resurrected.

"Did you see that burning car. That thing is cow's legs up for sure!"

"helpful" legs-lift

Refers to the playful "pretend assistive" action of raising someone's ankles up off the bed/couch in an apparent effort to aid him in standing back up ("Okay, your feet are up so far; you can lift more of yourself up now!"), but in reality you are effectively **preventing** him from standing up, since he would need to have his legs **lower** than his head and torso in order to be able to sit up and get to his feet. :P

Employing da "helpful" legs-lift is a good way of sarcastically conveying to a huge-a** lazy-bones who has groaningly asked for your assistance in rising dat he is obviously much too big/bulky/heavy for a much-smaller/lighter/weaker person like you to actually lift to his feet, and dat he will therefore need to just clamber back up under his OWN steam.
