Hello everyone,


Ex:Oh,tell me another!

Best wishes,

[RenanKenplers]

Complementando o ótimo post do Donay, lembrei de uma outra expressão que conota o mesmo sentido, mas também abrange outros:

Give me a break! (Ah me dá um tempo!; Conta outra!)

Oh, give me a break! Another thing would sound better than this lame little liar.
Ah! Me dá um tempo/Conta outra! Qualquer coisa soaria melhor do que essa mentirinha suja.

Regards,

Best wishes,

What is the context ? Is it like tell me another one (tell me another joke)?

[Flavia.lm]

tell me another (one)
Inf. What you just told me was a lie, so go ahead and tell me another lie! (Indicates incredulity.) Bill: Did you know that the football coach was once a dancer in a movie? Tom: Go on! Tell me another one! "Tell me another one!" laughed Bill at Tom's latest exaggeration.

It seems to me that "one" is optional.

Hi there!

yes Flavia the word 'one' is optional..

you may say " yeah..tell something I don't know" or maybe "that's a likely story!"

Take care,
