talk to the hand

"Talk to the hand," sometimes uttered while holding out the hand palm up, is short for the phrase "Talk to the hand because the face isn't listening." It has the same intent as saying, "Don't waste your time with excuses, I don't want to hear about it."

When the employee was late for work and offered an excuse to his boss, the boss shot back, "Talk to the hand," and walked away.
