Just to tell you

A chicanoism that translates in English to "Just to let you know", or "Just so you're aware".

Many Californians and residents of Southwest states will not even recognize this phrase as regional or colloquial, and will in fact believe that it is an English phrase. It is actually from the Chicano language.

No. You did it on purpose.

You can't know that! You can't read my mind.

Ok... Why did you have to walk up next to me to do it? You could have don't it over there. And you expect me to believe you had know way of knowing you were going to elbow me?

Well.... Um.....

Exactly. I don't have to read your mind. I can ask you two questions and now we both know exactly what happened just now. I mean, you're basically retarded. I doubt there would be any thoughts for me to read if I could.

You wouldn't hurt a guy with a disability would you?
