It's an old saying. U would put your hand in front of your face and say " talk to the hand cause the face don't want to hear it" In other words shut up or tell some one else, they R not interested. It's a polite rude thing (if there is such a thing) to do. Hope this answers you question.

It means to talk to the hand, cause I'm not listening. Since your hands don't have ears, pretty much you'll be wasting your breathe.

The full expression is "talk to the hand, 'cause the face ain't listening"
In other words, I'm not listening to you, go away!

Talk to the hand (or tell it to the hand) is 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 popularized by actor and comedian Martin Lawrence in his 1992 sitcom Martin. "Talk to the hand" was later mimicked by actress Fran Drescher in 1997's The Beautician and the Beast.

It just means, I'm not listening, maybe you will have better luck talking to my hand. Karen on "Will & Grace" used the term ,
"Talk to the boob."
