I mostly ignore these things. When my girls say "go away", I do. Stunning how quickly they realize that they don't really mean it. Now, when they say it the way that suggests they are up to no good (instead of their mean/angry way) I don't, of course. The "I don't like you" stuff, I just chalk up the fact that this really the only way they have to express anger. Better than hitting. The utensils thing is making me pull my hair out. My 5yo is doing this. Just lots of correction.

The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.
