Jenna (raising an eyebrow): Seriously? You’d do that for me?
Marcus (shrugging): Of course.
Jenna (playfully sniffing the air): Mmm, smells good. You really want me to wait until tomorrow?

Get the To don't Listmug. It's used when someone, usually a female, severely violates fashion code. It's like trying to cram 20 pounds of potatoes into a five pound bag.
