parent scare

Share definition
Noun: An article or sometimes but very rarely a video that exploits parental instincts in order to scare the parents out of granting their children access to something.

Person 1: Hey, did you get the new Call Of Duty game?
Person 2: No, my mom says that violent video games cause violence in real life.
Person 1: That's just a parent scare, it's not true.

The kids did what? They have to stop parent shopping.

A cataclysmic comeback to "ur dad lesbian", this insult detonates at 1,000,000,000,000 power. Turns entire bloodlines into "Live Laugh Love" signs and converts MAGA hats into pride flags. Warning: May cause Karens to melt into essential oils.
