Grammar
Don't + noun phrase + me
What would be a context for using this?
Don't Carlos/Mary/Shaz/Ahmed/Gunter, etc. me, you bum!
I am also wondering if it can only be used when the speaker's name is involved.
Dave: Go and get some beers.
Bud: But, Dave, It's rainining. Please, Dave, don't send me out now.
Dave: Don't Dave me. Get going! Beers!
r is this also OK?
Bud: But Sharon says she doesn't have to do what her boyfriend says. She doesn't have to...
Dave: Don't Sharon me. Sharon's a ***. Coat! Beers!
Don't Carlos/Mary/Shaz/Ahmed/Gunter, etc. me, you bum!
