Can't see the forest for the trees

To become so caught up in the small details that you're unable to step back see what is going on or what will happen. Our take of reality gets bent as we are too involved.

Like when person is so focused on finding an error in day a book, that they didn't take the time to enjoy it for what it was; a story.

Another would be say a brother or siser begs you to hide them, acts nervous (you ignore this) They look out windows (you ignore this too) as you just want to catch up. They ask you to hide a knife .... a bloody knife ..

The trees fall away yet?

Can't Understand Nigger Talk

Another acronym for the word "Cunt". Easier to use than "C U Next Tuesday", considering that you don't have to say "you" before it.

Shut up, can't understand nigger talk.

Can't Let you do that

An Internet Meme from the quote Wolf used in Starfox 64.
Often comes after something said by another person.

The word "Do" In the meme is commonly changed to whatever the topic relates to, Like "Can't let you eat that." Etc, Etc, Etc...

Usually used in sarcasm or to be annoying. Most people don't take it seriously, because it's really not.
n00bs will usually go all "N00b-Fu" On you if you use it at the wrong time though.

Protect your e-Crotch.

Robber: THIS IS A HOLD UP! *Points a gun*
Random guy: CAN'T LET YOU SHOOT THAT

Guy (Talking to another guy): So, I'll meet you at the cafe in ten minu-
Random guy (Interupting): CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT!
