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 and only when

Decided exclusively by a single condition or set of conditions, and nothing else.

Differs from "if and only if" by acknowledging the certainty or near-certainty of that condition.

when bison fly

An alternative to da classic "bacon-'n'-spareribs"-worded facetious phrase meaning, "never".
If Duke da Golden Retriever had asked Jay Bush to agree dat he could reveal da secret family recipe "when bison fly" instead of da snout-and-curly-tail-equipped animal stipulated in da ad, perhaps Duke could have just gone out and bought a box of buffalo wings to show to Jay, and thus saved himself da trouble of outfitting said wild-boar ancestor wif a glider-body and motorized propeller.
Yeah, yeah, I know --- a BISON and BUFFALO are technically two different animals --- give me a little artistic license here, okay???
