Right off the Back

A phrase referring to a specific personal, social, or worldly event that an individual has experienced or observed in the past, and shares their memory of while in a conversation, or while reflecting on the significance that he/she knew at the time would create a long term and/or an unavoidable chain of events.
This term implies a strong sense of intuition from the observer, as well as some experienced time that has proven the significance of this event to be be truly valid.
(*Not to be confused with "Right off the bat", which typically refers to a quick and strong , but short lived response to an emotion or action.)
The first time I walked through her door, I knew right off the back that she would be the love of my life.

When I first read in the newspaper in 1991 that it the US invaded Iraq to defend Quwait, I knew off the back that it would start a chain of events that would pull the U.S. into a long term military engagement in the Middle East.

ask that one right there

When you're angry at the person who has wronged you and is not worth addressing properly at that moment. It is almost like the "Bye, Felicia" phrase but is a bit more disrespectful in both a formal and informal setting (professional and/or public). Concept is still the same.
Friend: You alright?
You: I was, but now I'm not.
Friend: Why?
You: Ask that one right there.

Co-worker 1: Did you drink my cranberry juice?
Co-worker 2: Wait, that was your cranberry juice?
Co-worker 1: I'm asking you about it, so...
Co-worker 2: How was I supposed to know it was yours?
You: Hey guys! Huh...what's going on?
Co-worker 1: Ask that one right there.

Manager: Why did you leave late last night? You are thirty minute overtime.
