"In your face"?
I read that this expression ¿No qué no? means basically "I told you so" In certain situations "In your face" Can anyone comment on this? Kind of a handy expression and easy to learn if it is a fact.

You should reply to this thread and put a link there to this one. I don't think that it was answered too well there.
Ok, I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but there is a Puerto Rican term "Atángana" which is interjection pretty much equal to "In your face!". Sorry, I know this is after the fact, but this term specifically caters to your question.
Sorry, Marshall. Could you please clarify with an example of which "in your face" you mean? The original way I took it was how you stated: I told you so (with a prideful air). But the phrasebook's definition of "being in someone's face" is different. So, again, which meaning are you looking for? (Confrontation vs. [Prideful] Declaration?)
Well 'plantar cara' is a way of saying 'to face' something or someone so to me it sounds pretty well the same in Spanish as in English..... 
Well, i'm at work (at the moment) so alot of links are filtered, but from what i've have had access to here's something that might be close to what you're looking for. I couldn't open it though. Let me know if this helps. If not, i'll look some more when I get home because i'm not real familiar with the phrase. 
We could say "En la cara" o "En tu propia cara" to mean "In/To your face" or In front of me.
Examples:
No te quejes, pues te lo dije en tu propia/la cara. You can't accuse me of backstabbing you. I said it to your face.
No pude hacer mucho, pues lo tenía en la cara. I couldn't do much for his was in my face!
This is in the phrasebook
to be in someone's face, (confrontational) He is always in your face when he disagrees with anyone. Spanish "Plantar cara!
But doesn't do the English phrase justice, does it?
