Example 1: "Did you see how that guy threw a tantrum when his coffee order was wrong? Everyone is twelve now."

Example 2: "'Everyone is twelve now', she complained, when in response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, 'Your mom did', and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: 'Your mom'."

Speak now, or forever hold your piece

Refers to where da irate "paw" of a redneck chick is permitted only one opportunity to protest a horny stud's getting his "little pumpkin" preggo before he is permanently barred from demanding a shotgun wedding.
In da infamous "history of da yodel" tale, da enraged farmer unwittingly missed his single chance at recourse against da nameless traveler who had "gotten it on in da hayloft" with both his daughter AND his wife da night before --- said sly seed-spreader simply "had his fun" and then quietly slipped off far away before da man even knew what had happened --- and thus said furious family-head was made a victim of da old "Speak now, or forever hold your piece" scenario.
