@tjstkdn: Yes, you got it. With your friends in a playful tone (so they know it's a joke) you can say that 😊

@tjstkdn: Amongst friends I think "You've/You got some nerve" can be seen as a witty, friendly remark. In front of elders though - it sounds like an insult. In your example, I think removing the bowing part would make it seem more fluent/natural WHEN SPEAKING WITH CLOSE FRIENDS. Otherwise, the "How dare you" can be removed as well.

@tjstkdn: If you say it in a playful tone then it can be seen as a joke/friendly conversation. Just don't say "How dare you!" sternly (like this 😠) or else more often than not, it sounds like you're angry

@Ari_panda hmm, so you mean it's up the the tone. it's okay to say "how dare you!" (in a PLAYFUL tone of voice) when my friend ate my chicken?
