The whole thing is "Talk to the hand, 'cause the head ain't listening." A relationship power play, regardless which gender is saying it. (Only ever seen this said on tv; hope real people don't say anything this obnoxious, but I know which way I'd be betting.)

I will admit that I actually used "Don't go there" once when I was hugely pissed at my writing partner. My version, though, went: "Don't go there. Don't go near there. Don't call there and ask for directions" (which at least is comparatively creative).
