Hi! Here I am again.

I've heard this one in Rush Hour II movie:

" Don't be giving me attitude, Lee. I've been here three days and we haven't done shit. "

Can you please give a very simple meaning of the underlined phrases above.

Well,

In more formal English this sentence could look something like this:

Please don't be angry with me Lee, I've been here for three days and we haven't done anything.

giving attitude means talking back or being a smart alec, such as making sarcastic remarks. havent done shit means done nothing.
