The greatest cop-out in the parent/grownup world, this phrase is uttered when the adult is not able/willing to address/alleviate a totally legitimate problem or concern that a child is complaining to him about. Even worse is if the adult uses amused/cutesy/sarcastic expressions and/or actions to accompany said invalid statement, such as giving the kid a couple quick pats on the cheek for "dismissive emphasis and finality", giggling while speaking, saying, "You wanna know what I *honestly* think?" beforehand, opining that "somebunny" needs the nap (which of course makes the child all the more upset and humiliated, since this makes it appear to the child that the adult is not even really listening to him or taking what he has to say seriously), etc.
Statement: You need a nap.
What is really meant: I don't have the time/money/authority/inclination to help resolve your problem, and/or the bratty/overbearing person who is mistreating you is related to a "somebody" who is important to our family, and so I don't dare make a scene or try to demand that you be treated better by him. But I'm afraid to be truthful with you about this because I've always promised you that I will protect you and correct any wrongs in your young life, and so if you find out that I was "just saying that" but actually am not always able/willing to help you in every case, you will hate me as a parent and never trust me again. Same thing happened with me and your grandparents when I was little.

Get the You need a napmug. A mean-natured hobgoblin who sneakily drives around in a huge black station-wagon in the dead of night, and uses his evil acidic breath and piercing death-ray eyes to tarnish and rust (i.e., "corrode") your metal toys that you left scattered in the back yard instead of bringing them back inside in the evening like your mumma and daddy told you to.
Tearful second-grader with a somewhat-outspoken personality: I just don't get it --- during our post-lecture Q&A-session today,, I asked the policeman who had given our class an anti-drug message to arrest the local corroner for making my Tonka toys rusty, but he just smiled tolerantly and turned away without even addressing my request, then calmly asked my other classmates if they had any questions. And yet just moments earlier, the cop had specifically and emphatically stated that he was "our friend", that he "cared deeply about us all", and that we should always talk to him if we had "any information that could help in 'catching the bad guys'" --- well, a huge heapuh good HE seems to be doing, if he didn't even care about or feel inclined to follow up on a hot tip that a student had given him right then and there! Wonder if maybe he himself is actually IN CAHOOTS with the corroner, and so they BOTH had wanted my toys to rust! Well, if that useless unmotivated blue-suit has any kids of his own, I hope that THEIR toys TOTALLY CRUMBLE INTO FLAKY BROWN DUST --- maybe THEN he'll listen to me!

Get the corronermug. The disgusting (or highly-amusing, depending on your tastes in humor) act of farting while having missionary-style sex; it occurs when the person who's "on top" breaks wind and thus sends a "strong breeze" of gas whooshing out past the dampened thighs of the person on the bottom. Depending on how hot/chilly said "blast from the past" happens to be --- and on how temperature-sensitive the other person's upper-leg skin happens to be --- you may receive a howl of protest from said whizzpopper's "recipient", since many people hate the feel of "drafts" on their bare legs.
Depending on the condition/behavior of the lovers' digestive systems --- and whether they partook of baked beans and/or stewed cabbage shortly beforehand --- one or both of them may have "lots of traffic on the overpass" --- i.e., a frequent explanation of putrid methane while they're lustily "having at it" and thus vigorously flexing their entire groin-area anyway. Extra points if (1) you are able to skillfully "time your toots" so that they occur at precisely-regular intervals to coincide with your thrusting "rhythm", and/or (2) on occasions when both of you are passing gas while "getting it on", you practice standard "courtesy-merging on the freeway" --- i.e., you each "take turns" farting so that one of you (usually the guy, since it's easier for him to tense his abdominal muscles during his forward thrust) releases your "perfume" on each "inward" stroke, and the other person "lets fly" on the "outward" motion, so that your "collective" farts are "synchronized" and evenly spaced from each other, similar to two lines of cars alternately merging on adjacent highway-lanes like the opposing teeth of a zipper.

Get the overpassmug. Stands for "unauthorized local percussion expert", and refers to a self-possessed a**h**e living near you who fancies himself such a pro on da drums dat he plays dem from early morning, almost continuously all day, and late into da night, disturbing da public peace and keeping all his peace-'n'-quiet-loving neighbors awake till all hours.
{{Thump-thump-thump, thump-thump-thump, thump-thum-thuh-thuh-thuh-thuh-thump; thump-thump-thump, thump-thump-thump, thump-thum-thuh-thuh-thuh-thuh-thump...}}
Citizen: Ooooooohhhh, brother --- there goes our u.l.p.e. bangin' on his confounded drums again! How can he play 'em all day and half da night like dat?! Don't his arms and wrists ever get sore? Doesn't he ever sleep???

Get the u.l.p.e.mug. It would likely be difficult to have a noticeable cameow in da movie "Cats", since da entire film is nothing but said "whiskered wonders".

Get the cameowmug. T'ain't no fun bein' watched like a hawk by an overseer with small glittery eyeballs while taking jewelry-making classes... rather than making everyone be obeadyent, let yer **pupils** (get it? Eyes? :P) have some creative freedom in da colors, sizes, and arrangements of da decorative spheres dat they're each assembling into something unique and expressive.

Get the obeadyentmug. Generally speaking, you wouldn't need a massive-airflow sensor to keep tabs on your butt-splutters: people's ears --- and often their noses, as well --- will be totally aware of each and "every toot you make" and "every wind you break"! (Have I been watching too much Weird Al???)
