You will never understand

A phrase used when you've exhausted all known avenues to communicate an important issue.

Although it sounds condescending, it really isn't. It means that the person or people involved isn't able to see a different perspective.
You will never understand the issue. I can explain it multiple times and it goes over your head.

go Carrie Underwood

To vandalize (vandalise) your cheating, soon to be ex boyfriend's vehicle.

Consists of (but not limited to):
Keying vehicle's exterior. Writing your name by ripping the leather upholstery on the interior. Using the vehicle headlights for batting practice. Permanently deflating all 4 tires.
Now that I know JimBob is cheating I might just go Carrie Underwood.

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats. (Not like he'll ever get a bad bitch like me again)
