Answer 2

G'day BamaBoy205,

Thanks for your question.

It was an English language slang phrase associated with the 1990s. It originated in African American Vernacular English as a contemptuous and urbanized way of saying that no one is listening, and is often elongated to a phrase such as "Talk to the hand, because the ear's not listening" or "Talk to the hand, (be)cause the face don't understand". "Talk to the hand" is often considered to be a sarcastic, or obnoxious phrase, and is commonly associated with urban black youths, especially black women, as well as teenage valley girls who adopted it, and guests on daytime talk shows such as Jenny Jones, Jerry Springer and Ricki Lake during confrontational segments. The phrase was originated by actor and comedian Martin Lawrence, and along with such phrases as "You Go, Girl", "Getta Steppin'", and "Waassupp", was popularized in Martin Lawrence's 1992 sitcom Martin. "Talk to the hand" was later mimicked by actress Fran Drescher in 1997's The Beautician and the Beast.

"Talk to the hand" has its own associated gestures. It is normally performed by placing one hand on the hip, rolling the eyes, and flipping the head back with the nose pointed upward. The other hand is placed in or near (by a spiralling motion) the face of the recipient to signify the refusal to listen.

Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door is a semi-comic examination of modern manners (or lack of) by Lynne Truss.
