Because I said so

A thought-terminating cliché used by authoritarian parents to suppress disobedience and critical thinking in children. Often most seen in Asian parents.

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!

Because I said so

An annoying term mostly used by parents when they don’t want their kid oing something that’s perfectly fine but the parent has no logical explanation why they don’t want them doing it, but doesn’t want to admit it

John: mom shook is done and billies my only rid

Mom: no your not going with billy

John: Why the hell not?

Mom: BECAUSE I SAID SO

John: THATS NOT AN ANSWER

Mom: I’ll be there to pick you up in 45 —beep—

John: WHAT THE FUCK!

I know you are, you said you are, so what am I?

Blatantly useless retort which younger primary school students use.

Playground Bully: Ha ha! Ernie's Crap!
Ernie: I know you are, you said you are, so what am I?
Playground Bully: I just said that you were crap, though!
Ernie: I know you are, you said you are, so what am I?

I know you are what you said you are, so what am I?

The correct way to taunt on playgrounds. Often missaid as "I know you are, you said you are, but what am I?". Mostly by australians. Often shortened to "I know you are but what am I?"

Timmy: "you're a poop head"
Aaron: "I know you are what you said you are, so what am I?"
Timmy: *cries*
