I used it in a non-sexual context recently but I can't help but think it sounds as creepy as fuck.

Any suggestions for a non-creepy alternative?

I've often seen "thou doth protest too much", any better?

How about 'chill out' or 'hold your horses'?

How about
'She's trying too hard'
'That's some grade A acting'
'You are overplaying your hand'
'The mask/illusion wears thin'
'That's better defense than the (insert football team)'
'You paint a pretty picture, but I'm not buying it'
