Short for, "tell me when to stop". The grammatically improper, but obedient reply is, when. Some people who use this phrase are so pedantic about receiving an obedient reply that they will not stop if the reply is other than, "when", because they think it's funny.
Say when.
OK... That's enough.
I said that's enough!
Will you stop already?!?
When you say "when".
When, already! You've ruined my drink!!!

Get the when you say that's so gay do you realize what you say knock it off mug.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.
