A phrase uttered to ward off people who are needlessly angering, upseting, or annoying you... sometimes even going out of the way to do so. A different way to warn people that they're on thin ice, or that a joke is going too far.
John, eating pancakes: Ughh, these are terrible...
Macy: I'm sorry I tried not to burn them this time...
John, laughing: The syrup isn't even seeping in!
Macy: Hey, you never cook so don't complain!
John, still giggling, takes another bite and makes a gagging sound
Macy: Hey, don't poke the bear!
Macy: I'm sorry I tried not to burn them this time...
John, laughing: The syrup isn't even seeping in!
Macy: Hey, you never cook so don't complain!
John, still giggling, takes another bite and makes a gagging sound
Macy: Hey, don't poke the bear!

Get the don't poke the bear mug.Originating down south, this phrase means that what you are currently doing is not being productive for the task at hand. Standing around the hood of a truck drinking coffee at the job site isn't getting the job done. Or, if you have the wrong tool for the job and are failing at a task.
