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

how say you

how do you find? (addressed to the jury when requesting its verdict).

"Members of the jury, having heard the evidence and the arguments, how say you, is the defendant guilty or not guilty?"

"Foreperson, how say you as to the charge of grand larceny?"

"And so, to the matter of the first count, how say you?"

You Were Saying?

When you are telling a story while completely baked and forget mid story what you were talking about. You can simply say "You were saying?" which let's your friend know they can either remind you where you were, or they can start a new story with no worries.

Then MJ was like Winn Ah Bay Go and I was like........You were saying?

relationships could get a bit tricky over the next few days, so promise yourself that no matter what loved ones might say you won’t overreact and make things worse than they need to be. Smile serenely and pretend that nothing bothers you in the slightest.

powder that makes you say yes

A powder that indeed does make you say yes. It derives from a recent meme.

"Have you seen the movie Yes Man? It's about a man who challenges himself to eat powder that makes you say yes"
