Earth speak!

Dear Teachers,

  1. Earth speak, please!
- What does this mean?

  1. Stop snooping into my own business.
- Is this ok to say?

  1. It’s a done deal!
- What does this mean?

  1. Don’t ever fall for it!
- What does this mean?

  1. You set me up!
- This means “ you cheat me!”, right?

  1. Does “ Don’t engage!” mean “ Don’t fight!” ?
  1. What does “ ease up!” mean?
Thanks very much to Teacher.
