[[FridgeLogic If you think about it]], this is really a very odd phrase to use in a regular professional capacity, as that kind of vagary can easily lead to misunderstandings and somewhat belies the usefulness of giving orders in the first place. But it can be {{justified|Trope}} when the order is given over an insecure channel, like a public telephone, to avoid incrimination. Often the "you know what to do" involves [[DeadlyEuphemism killing somebody]]. May involve nonverbal communication like handing someone a gun. May be subverted, if the recipient decides to turn the tables and do something unexpected, or just misunderstands and takes the phrase in a different way than intended. Still, despite its particular age, this trope is more often played straight than lampshaded.
