Because I said so
A thought-terminating cliché used by authoritarian parents to suppress disobedience and critical thinking in children. Often most seen in Asian parents.
Child: Can I get a switch for my 14th birthday? All my friends have one and I wanna play with them at recess
Parent: No. No fun allowed in school, only study.
Child: But why?!
Parent: Because I said so!!!
Some guy sitting next to them in public: *slow claps* Wow! What an answer! I'm sure your child is totally going to believe that one!

Sparks fly
A vague phrase that apparently has lovey-dovey connotations. Flying sparks makes for a great screensaver or background to a music video w/ lyrics, but how it's supposed to allegorize love... I do not know. Recommended to say in a uwu voice.

AirPods
Truly-wireless earbuds made by Apple with the hidden agenda of getting people to switch from wired to wireless.
It's also a misconception that the AirPods are very expensive, because they're not. The 2nd generation AirPods cost $179, which is around the same ballpark for many other good truly-wireless earbuds (e.g. Galaxy Buds Pro). The AirPods Max, however, are overpriced.
This makes the "broke" meme largely flawed and futile.

Osteopathy
There are two sides to Osteopathy.
Utilitarian speaking, osteopathy generally falls along the same lines as chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy and maybe acupuncture. In the end, all of these practices aim to "fix" your body through some sort of coordinated physical manipulation of your muscles and bones; a strategic massage so to speak. And it obviously works because you can feel it. There are other nuances here and there, but generally you can't go wrong with either one.
Where osteopathy differs is in its ideological beliefs. It started out under the belief that manipulating the Fascia—a thin layer of muscle that links every part of the body with every other part—can relieve muscle pain and muscle tension inside the body. Remember, this is entirely ideologically-based; there is no actual proof.
Osteopathy (back in the 20th century) was initially more of a pseudoscience than anything, but now it's become a standardized evidenced-based practice (EBP). Truthfully, there is currently little scientific evidence to support osteopathy along with chiropractic. This is not to say that osteopathy is fake, because it obviously works wonders on our bodies. Perhaps further research and technological breakthroughs are needed to understand the true science behind it.
