Her dialog here is written exactly how spider-man’s fight dialogue in that era is. She excuses herself from an interaction with an overly-specific and obviously-phony excuse. Next she makes a silly crack about the giant hole in the wall to avoid having to make a serious angsty response to how bad the situation is. Then she makes an obviously backhanded remark using a colorful metaphor within direct earshot in an attempt to provoke her opponent.
That said, I’m not entirely sure whether this is due to of MJ trying to be like Spider-Man, Spider-Man trying to be like MJ, or lack of range on the part of the writers.
