"Talk to the hand" nghĩa là gì?

'Talk to the hand' = nói chuyện với bàn tay -> là lời nói chen ngang, thô lỗ để ngắt lời và gạt bỏ điều ai đang nói (đôi khi dài hơn là "talk to the hand, because the face isn't listening," hay tương tự; 'nói chuyện với bàn tay, vì cái mặt có nghe đâu); như 'nói chuyện với cái đầu gối/bịch bông'.

Ví dụ
Forget "talk to the hand;" in 2019, we're crawling away from unwanted conversations.

"Gossip Girl" star Michelle Trachtenberg and "90210" chick AnnaLynne McCord talked to the hand at the same event in Hollywood on Thursday.

She accessorised her swimwear with a playful straw floppy hat, that included the phrase 'talk to the hand' embroidered around the rim, and an over-sized pair of shades.

Vituperative backchat had probably been invented at cocktail parties by this point, but little of it had made its way into mass-market romantic song. If anyone talked to the hand, no one really mentioned it back then.
