A statement that 99.99% guarantees that a suddenly-foisted-upon-you undesirable situation/stipulation will be absolutely permanent, or at best will last for many months or even years. Alternative versions or "classic" variations include, "It's just till we get back on our feet" or "It's only till the third of next month", but we all know that things very seldom work out that way, particularly with "unmotivated" people who feel little urge to truly or actively exert themselves significantly to seek employment or otherwise improve their situation on their own, especially since they have you as a "crutch" to fulfill their basic daily-living needs for the time being.
Disgruntled middle-aged parent My teenage daughter assured me that, "It's only temporary" when she asked me to let her deadbeat boyfriend move in with us so that he'd have a place to live while he was "between jobs", but that was six months ago, and he's generally done nuthin' but munch potato chips and sit in front of the computer or TV all day and half the night!

Phrase spoken by a female to express her wish to a male that he touch her only above the waist for the time being
Guy (having had his arm gently pushed away when he was reaching under his girl’s skirt): Ah --- is it “that time of the month”, honey?
Girl (in a somewhat sorrowful tone from having to disappoint a guy whom she really likes a lot): Yeah, it is… sorry. I’m afraid it’s just ta-tas for now… I’m all yucky-messy “down there”.

Fellow golfer: Well, I actually yelled, "Fore!", sir.

To "fatally" screw up someone's "natural" or "normal" progression into maturity; two of the most common forms of this abuse are to either invalidly/excessively tell a tender/naive-minded little one to "grow up already", or to put down an adult by "treating him like a five-year-old".
I signed up for adult-counselling in an effort to get my social screws tightened, and they did an excellent job --- one big way they helped me was to teach me to recognize when others were trying to youthanize me, and then simply disregard these verbal barbs so that they could no longer hurt me emotionally.

Anytime am irritably-overbearing a**h**e snorts. "No more "Mr. Nice Guy", I get really nervous --- he was already being mean and hostile up to that point, and so if THAT was his idea of GOOD behavior, then Heaven help us when he "pulls out all the stops" and acts in ways that he himself views as NOT nice...!
