Nåh, så vi skal til at være personlige nu?


Explanation:
I have changed the 'you' to 'we' in Danish. But this is more or less a litteral translation.
You could also say 'Jeg synes du er ude med grovfilen'

'ude med grovfilen' = to use the rough edge of your tongue.
But this might be a bit old-fashioned.
Let's hear what the others think?!
