Slog - Comments on Overheard on the Corner of 11th and Pike http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/overheard_on_the_corner_of_11th_and_pike "And I was like, 'You'd better shut your face if you're going to talk to me like that!" Wait, what? UPDATE: Jonah informs me that this makes sense. "They're just saying, "if you're going to say some shit, don't."" Oh. Still. You can't talk if your face is shut. It's redundant....

Don't play dumb Ari to make others look more dumb.

Substitute the "english" word "planning" for the "american" word "going". See? Not redundant at all. "American" is such a lovely language, mashizzle.Fodizzle.

"If you are going to talk to me like that", also future tense. The sentence makes sense to me, it is a warning not to repeat the present offense in the future.
