What does no me jodas mean?

ExpressionFuerte

Sentido 1

you're kidding — no way

Surprise or disbelief at news, good or bad: the speaker can hardly believe it. The words are fixed, and only the intonation tells it apart from the groan; it rarely has anything to do with its literal sense.

—¿Que has ganado un viaje a Japón? —¡No me jodas!
Disbelief, and very nearly a compliment to the news.

Sentido 2

don't remind me — give me a break

A groan at something you would rather not hear about or have to deal with: a sore subject, a chore, a piece of bad luck. It complains about the situation, not about the person who brought it up.

—Mañana hay que madrugar. —No me jodas, que es sábado.
A groan at the alarm clock, not at whoever mentioned it.
