Don't be cute

a phrase that means "Don't try to be clever or manipulative, especially in a way that's rude or unpleasant" according to the Cambridge Dictionary. It implies someone is being overly clever or trying to get out of something by being sly, and it's often used when someone is being impertinent or smart-alecky
Don't be cute
Marcus (smirking as he tucks the last slice of pizza into his jacket): Hey, don’t worry—I already paid for it. You can have it tomorrow.

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?

Marcus (firmly, cutting off her teasing): Don’t be cute—just give me your phone so I can set a reminder to drop it by your place first thing in the morning.

I don't play games, I win them

When two people are arguing and one tells the other to "stop playing games"! Yet the other person is always right, so they don't play games... they win them!

No. I don't.

I don't feel that way. I see some chick crying because if she comes home without cigarettes her the man she chose to fuck instead of me is going to beat the shit out of her or I see Cassie getting dragged down a hallway know full well that she chose to fuck a known diddler... It makes it all better.

Hey, don't care bitch

How about YOU let go of YOUR ego and allow YOURSELF to be controlled turd-man? YOU do the fucking thing you're telling the abstract phantom to do. How does that sound?
Hym "Hey, don't care bitch. I'm not hooking myself up to your retard farming apparatus. That's why Jordan Peterson is posting pictures of milking porn. That's ALL you motherfuckers do. Hook people up to your people farm and live off the proceeds while doing NOTHING."
