Answer 3

'No la hagas de tos', or 'no me la hagas de tos' = do not argue with me
' No te hagas pato' = do not be so lazy, and go do what you have to do. do not waist time.
But be carefull, these are just to be used among friends, you will never, ever use these expressions in a formal conversation.
