you have to say I don't want you to know
this situation keep your nose out okay
so maybe you want to tell your friend or
your mother to keep their nose out when

because this idiom is very casual and a
little bit rude so when you say it it's
not a nice thing yeah if you want to say
it nicely you could say mmm please don't
involve yourself in my problem yeah I
can do this but if you want to be a
little bit rude and not so nice you
could say hey keep your nose out and

use this in or maybe you can understand
it the next time you hear it and let's
