All ears English: for touchy testy situations
use it When people break social norm
flipps the table / scripts
when do we use excuse you?
We use this when a person does sth that is not polite they didn't say excuse me so we use excuse you in this situation （someone you close to）under my breath so they can't hear me
especially when sb bumps us
pushing back and challenging people
across culture might be accepted in their culture
we needed to be aware of that
not snapping at people
mind your manner： ( using for kids) sneezs when they don't cover nose
Don't be rude：（super close to sb snappy to you requires some level of intimacy very direct way)
Ex: it's not my fault you didn't sent it don't be rude
I don't think so( getting testy)
Ex:
A :you are the one missed the line
B:I don't think so, not me
What to this expression do?
They push back on people they let people know they break some kinda of social norm
（a little stress relieve）
