Hello, everyone.
This question arose while I was listening to my Friends audio book. In an episode, Joey's agent gets him an opportunity to become Al Pacino's butt double. Joey is quite excited. One morning, Joey rushes to ask Monica whether he can borrow something from her. To which, she replied:"OK. Go into the bathroom, use whatever you want and, just, don't ever tell me what you did in there." The context has made it very clear to me that Monica doesn't want to know what Joey will do with her stuff.
Is this usage colloquial, or people can also use it in written form?
Thanks
Richard
