Give Me a Break!

= 3 meanings:

1) stop it, that is enough,  stop bothering me

2) I don’t believe you, you can’t expect anyone to believe you

3) Don’t be so harsh.  Give me another chance

1) Give me a break = stop it

Ex:  I’m tired of hearing you guys argue.  Just “give me a break.”

2) Give me a break = I don’t believe you

Ex: You think Godzilla was a real creature?  “Give me a break!” Godzilla was definitely not real.

3) Give me a break = don’t be so harsh, give me another chance

Ex: I’m sorry I upset you.  Can you “give me a break?”  It won’t happen again.
