When you are having an argument and you see your logic begin to fail, you can use this phrase to automatically win. This of course only works if the reference is understood.
The phrase originates from a conversation that occured directly after a speech which described how the earth revolves around the sun.
At the end of the speech an elderly lady stood up and said,
"What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise."
The scientist then smugly asked,
"What is the tortoise standing on?"
"You're very clever, young man, very clever", said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
This anecdote was made "popular" by Stephen Hawking, who told it at the begining of his book "A Brief History of Time."

A franchise that reached world-wide popularity circa-1990. The charactors were four mutated turtles that were the size of humans, crave pizza, talk and have expert martial at skills, learned from a similarly mutated giant rat... Master splinter. Their sworn enemy was The Shredder, or "Shreadhead"/"metalmouth".

dropping 'i like turtles' at random or inappropriate moments in a conversation. This phrase was made famous by that stupid kid on the internet when asked a question which did not merit an 'i like turles' response. It can be funny if used sparingly... very sparingly.
person1: that test was nothing what i expected, i hope i passed.
person2: yeah, that test was tough.
person1: it's like, could she have made that test any harder?
person3: I like turtles.
person1: you're retarded.
person2: i thought it was kind of funny. it helps that he does it sparingly! Nice 'I like turtles' bomb, person3.
