Yell Back

This is a bit odd in Italian!

English has this expressions like "I yelled at her" and "but she yelled back"!
We can have something like "Le ho urlato" e "Lei mi ha urlato di rimando!" but despite it is correct, I don't think it is used often!

Concerning "Excuse you" (scusarti?) can you please supply us with a bit more context?
"Excuse you" could mean: "Ahem, you should have said 'Excuse me.'" If so, it's very sarcastic, and a rather rude way to suggest someone else's rudeness.

Let's say someone makes a rude body noise but does not apologize -- as a joke you might say, "Excuse you." It's a joke, because the person who made the noise should have said "Excuse me" but did not, so the other person says, instead, "Excuse you."
