Talk to da hand. Talk to et!

"Talk to da hand. Talk to et!" is a phrase that has become a popular and often humorous way of dismissing someone or shutting down a conversation. The phrase is typically used when someone is being annoying, rude, or just plain uninteresting, and the speaker wants to convey that they are not interested in engaging with them any further.

The origins of the phrase can be traced back to African American Vernacular English (AAVE), where the use of "da" instead of "the" and the dropping of the final consonant in "it" are common features. This linguistic style has been popularized in mainstream culture through various forms of media, such as movies, television shows, and music.

When someone says "Talk to da hand. Talk to et!" they are essentially telling the other person to stop talking to them and to instead direct their conversation towards their hand. This is a way of expressing that the speaker is not interested in what the other person has to say and is choosing to ignore them.

The phrase can be used in a lighthearted and playful manner, often accompanied by a sassy hand gesture where the speaker holds up their hand in a stop motion. It can also be used in a more serious and assertive way, to firmly establish boundaries and communicate that the conversation is over.
