When I say "jump" you say "how high?"

The catchphrase of boomers in particular, possibly coming from the movie "Stripes" is a phrase that fuels their narccisim and the outcome being they wonder why their kids and grand kids go No Contact and abandon them or throw them into homes and abandon them.

The idea is you are supposed to question an order not act in blind subordenation. They just say "JUMP!" being confused you ask "How high and why?"

Boomers comically use the phrase "If your friend jumps off a bridge would you follow?" fueling more of their hypocisy.

whatever you say

A phrase uttered in an argument with a person who doesn’t actually want to have a discussion, but just wants to be right. This phrase is heard when Person A has said their piece and wants to end the “conversation” by telling Person B what they want to hear, that they’re right and everyone else is wrong. By stroking their ego, Person B will finally shut up and stop talking in circles. Of course, this phrase is almost always used disingenuously, so it usually just makes things worse.
"No, I know that you're wrong because of X and Y and Z. You just hate when people have different beliefs than you."

“Yup, sure. Whatever you say, man.”
