No More Mr Nice Guy

[powerchisper]

Hello friends :

I've heard this several times , I understand it means something like " se acabó , tio majo" , but what I don't fully understand is the context where it may come handy.

Could you give me some examples ? I mean situations where it could be said.

Thank you very much

Hmmm, what about if you explain first what "se acabó, tío majo" means and it what context.

;)

Chileno , " se acabó tio majo" would be just a literal translation. I have this on an Alice Cooper song of the same title.

My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye
Mom's been thrown out of the social circles
And dad has to hide
I went to church incognito
When everybody rose the Reverend Smithy
He recognized me and punched me in the nose

He said, no more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
He said you're sick, you're obscene

I think a native English speaker will have a better explanation and examples, but as I understand it, in Spanish it means "se acabó la amabilidad" after you have been treating people nicely and they keep being mean to you.

Like in the movies, when the tough guy is trying to tell the aggressive drunkard to leave him alone and then the drunkard hits him with a bottle, so the tough guy gets up and kicks the drunkard out of the bar. :showoff:
Or with children, when you're trying to ask them nicely to stop hitting each other, until you're tired of not being heard and have to pull them apart by force. :whistling:

Correct. If you've had all you take of somebody's taunting/hitting/etc., you give the other person fair warning that you're about to retaliate by announcing, "No more Mr. Nice Guy." This also applies to those people who are always nice to everyone, but then decide they've been treated unfairly for too long, or have had enough humiliation, that they announce they'll take no more abuse.
