Rebus-ish Puzzle

I can be "nicer", too.

-- is not a bar

-- are not minus signs

-- represents two letters


I almost didn't post this puzzle because I thought it was too easy. Now, I am pleased.


Oh, yeah, the nicer part; here ya go: your "nicer" hint to me is my "nicer" hint to you. Capish? (If not, I'll quote you!)
