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.

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

"Why do my kids hate me?"-Boomers

you-don't-say-tality

Somebody who dies from a heart attack because the person who called 911 was a mime.

Sadly, Keith's Aunt Connie was yet another you-don't-say-tality, which is more evidence that you should see a cardiologist before visiting a boulangerie.

You could say that

The thing you (might) say when someone pinpoints something with the right idea, but in a way where it's *just* between being off and being right

Grandma: So, what you're saying is "rizz" means that you have a lot of girlfriends

Grandson: I guess you could say that

I Figured You Would Say That

The finishing line of Daphne Sutton, a.k.a. The Queen of Accountability. When she says this, you’re about to be held accountable. Good luck.
