Who said, "Talk to the hand?"

"Talk to the hand" and the similar "tell it to the hand" are
African-American slang expressions, sometimes part of a longer phrase
such as "Talk to the hand, 'cuz the face ain't listenin'."

I believe the first use of the phrase in a widespread entertainment
medium was by Joan Rivers, who used "talk to the hand" as a sarcastic
catchphrase when she was hosting The Late Show from 1986-1987:

"When comedienne Joan Rivers would get angry with someone, she'd stick
her hand in his face and holler, "Talk to the hand. My ears aren't
listening!"

In 1997, the phrase appeared in a Fran Drescher movie, "The Beautician
and the Beast":

"The Beautician and the Beast has already established a niche in
comedic cinematic history, being the origin of the culturistic 'talk
to the hand' rage which swept the country."

The line showed up in "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" in 1999:

"Dr. Evil: Talk to the hand 'cause the face don't wanna hear it."

"Talk to the hand" was repopularized by the 2003 movie "Terminator 3:
Rise of the Machines":

"Schwarzenegger gets to total cars and deliver deadpan understatements
like 'We need a new vehicle,' and he's constantly in search of the
right pair of shades. He has an absurdist comeback in one scene: 'Talk
to the hand."
