Imagine there are three individuals in a small room. Person A is going to say something that person B should not be made aware of. What sentence should person C use to stop A from continuing his speech, such that B wouldn't notice that C does not want him to know?
Here is a possible conversation:
A: I went to the cinema and met...
B: Oh really, you went to the cinema? And met whom?
C: Hey, don't say!
A: I cannot remember anyway.
Is this use of “don’t say” natural and idiomatic? What about the following alternatives?
- Let’s don’t talk about it.
- Let’s not talk about it.
