Afrikaans term or phrase: Too bad!! Jammer vir jou is jy nie die shit nie! Alles draai toe nou nie om...
...jou nie! Jy is vinnig om jou bek te rek en vieslik te wees want jy word met 'n teelepeltjie gevoer! Alles word in jou skoot vir jou gegooi! Dis seker hoekom jy so vinnig kan praat. Word net groot asb! Wonder nogal wat met jou sal gebeur as jy bietjie iets op jou eie moet doen!

this was my future sister in law's facebook status.. just wondering what it means. thanks

English translation:Too bad! Sorry for you, but you are not the shit! After
Explanation:
all, everything does not revolve around you! You are quick to run your mouth and be rude, because you are being spoon-fed! Everything just lands in your lap! That is probably why you are so quick to talk. Please just grow up! I wonder what would happen to you if you had to do something for yourself for a change!

... i.e. she does not sound all too happy!! :(
