When a foreigner says "you do you" to you
Don't think he's wrong
This is not chinese English
So what exactly does it mean?
What does "you do you" mean?
Let's take a look at the Cambridge Dictionary's explanation:
It is used to describe a person doing what they think is best, what they like the most, or something that suits their personality
So when a foreigner says "you do you" it means "be yourself."
Example:
Just do whatever you want to do. You do you.
Do whatever you want. Be yourself.
What does "do one's business" mean?
When foreigners say "do my business"
Don't think that he is dealing with business matters
It's about saying, "I'm going to make it easier."
(Euphemism for going to the toilet)
Example:
I have to do my business first before we hang out.
Before I go out to play, I have to go to the bathroom.
And do the business is "solving the problem; getting things done."
Example:
As long as he does the business on the football field, the club is happy with him.
As long as he plays well on the football pitch, the club is happy with him.
What does "that will do" mean?
Used to indicate stopping or speaking
Meaning "Enough"
Example:
That will do, Tom. I don't want to see any more of that kind of behaviour.
Tom, enough is enough, I don't want to see you act like that again.
If you add a never
that will never do = Absolutely not;
Example:
A: Xiaojiang promised to pay me back last week, but she didn't.
Xiao Sauce had promised to pay me back last week, but she didn't pay it back.
B: Dear me, that will never do!
Oh, my God! How does that work!
