An intellectually dishonest response used, usually by parents, to justify making a child comply with an ostensibly irrational directive which the child finds objectionable or in an effort to terminate an argument they find inconvenient. Anyone who makes this argument demands respect while not giving it. They will not tolerate temper tantrums while having them.
If your only reason is "because I said so" a child over a certain age should refuse to accept the reasoning. This reasoning is insulting and bullying and is only used to defend a position that makes no rational sense.
Children are capable of critical thought at a young age and usually will listen to sound argumentation.

Just Because Its Tuesday!
The ironic phrase you say when someone does something for, apparently, no reason.
So, synonym of “why not?”, its a funny and sarcastic way to describe an action that you or someone else did and you don’t know why, for a stupid reason or even because their mind said to do so.

Child: Can I get a switch for my 14th birthday? All my friends have one and I wanna play with them at recess
Parent: No. No fun allowed in school, only study.
Child: But why?!
Parent: Because I said so!!!
Some guy sitting next to them in public: *slow claps* Wow! What an answer! I'm sure your child is totally going to believe that one!
