You could say: no te pones loco

English is very rich & expressive & not always instantly translatable.

Sure, but it goes the other way too

Lots of Spanish people, even women say

"No me toques los cojones"

Yes, I know it means "Don't touch my balls" in English, but how would you translate that into a similar English phrase that captures the sentiment?

Thanks for the responses - for the last I would suggest don't get too close.

What about 'don't wind me up'??

Am still trying to find the Spanish equivalent for "to bed in" as in brakes, etc.
