Please give me a break (meaning)

It means;
Stop picking on me. stop victimising me, or stop criticising me

How could you say just the opposite?

Start picking on me. start victimising me, or start criticising me?

Why would you want to say that?

Give me a break

Hi,

It's been explained in the second post in this thread.

Clive WoodwardIt means: Stop picking on me, stop victimising me, or stop criticising me.

The other way of putting the phrase, "give me a break" is that, don't expect me to beleive it.

give me a break - the origin of this idiom comes from the "break card" in texas hold em poker... the 5th card drawn in texas hold em is called the "break card" and most gamblers depend on that "break" card to give them a winning hand in the game... therefore giving them a "break" and a win

This expression can be used when you violate the law and caught by the police. It expresses act of leniency or mercy.

For example, "When I violated the traffic law for the first time, the policeman gave me a break and let me go with a warning."

its basically an idiom and It means that a person is getting tired or they want to look at all the answers instead of just one person's opinon or answer.
