Don't Ask

A thought which often escapes idiots staring at a stranger struggling to walk. "What happened to you?" they say, before launching into the saga of their torn knee ligament, oblivious to the possibility that their prey has been disabled for decades and doesn't wish to answer appallingly inappropriate questions, nor needs your brilliant advice.
Don't ask, she thought. Don't fucking ask.

don't ask me the color of anything

Similar to the “sorry, mommy,” trend, people will usually say, “don't ask me the color of anything” after they've spotted a crush. The joke is that their infatuation prevented them from registering what was going on otherwise, like the colors in their surroundings.

Guy 2: Don't ask, Don't tell.

Don't Ask, Just Smell

A phrase to define the new policy of not "outing" someone by asking, "Did you just fart?" Not asking someone or a roomful of people, who farted is politically correct. The person who ripped it, dealt it, or pushed it, may have a medical issue the casuses he/she to expell rancid gas at semi-regular intervals. Moreover the guilty party may be very shy and "outing" them might cause mental trauma that would far exceed the mental and physical anguish of "just smelling".
I was at a meeting the other day when Bob let out an SBDF. I thought I was going to die. I was just about to "out" him on it, but then I thought, "What about Bob's feelings?". He's been having a rough time at home and with his Irratable Bowel Syndrome, I thought it prudent to practice "Don't Ask, Just Smell".

Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to

Mark: Hey babe, where were you last night?
Susan: Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to
