A phrase meant to represent one's humble acceptance of the fact that he was wrong all along, after it being made completely obvious by the other part.
Example 1:
Boyfriend: Hey babe, do you want some ice cream?

Boyfriend: You're already fat.
Girlfriend: When you put it that way...

Example 2:
Person 1: You really shouldn't eat that beef.
Person 2: Why?
Person 1: It's murder! They killed a cow for that.
Person 2: You're eating Salmon.
Person 1: It's not the same thing.
Person 2: So you're saying that I shouldn't eat my beef because it's murder and we should treat all animals alike, inferring that I would not eat this were it human meat and yet you think of that dead salmon as an inferior creature in comparison to said cow.
