Don't get so cute, you ain't cute

[Cheeszz]

Hi
I heard people say in the movies, " Don't get so cute " & " you ain't cute and I got no time for your lip ". What do they mean? Thank you.

When someone makes a cheeky, sassy or smart-alecky remark, they are often accused of being "cute." Technically speaking, it means making a joking response to a serious situation.

For example, a shopper is looking through the various turkeys in the large freezer at the supermarket. Not finding one large enough, she asks a store employee:
"Excuse me, sir, but do these turkeys get any larger?"
"No, m'am, they're all dead."

She might then indignantly respond, "Don't get cute with me!"

All mean simply: don't try to be funny when I am serious.
