Because I said so!

An imperious reply that an authority figure --- most often a parent --- impatiently tells someone under his/her care when he does not wish to admit that there is literally no good/valid reason why said dependent should have to comply with the directive, but the authority figure doesn't want to admit it.

The answer that most parents, (mostly moms) will give their child when they dont want them to do something or go somewhere. It is said because they know the child knows they have no answer, so they will simply say, Because i said so!

Some bullshit excuse yo mama use to make you do shit.

An intellectually dishonest response used, usually by parents, to justify making a child comply with an ostensibly irrational directive which the child finds objectionable or in an effort to terminate an argument they find inconvenient. Anyone who makes this argument demands respect while not giving it. They will not tolerate temper tantrums while having them.

If your only reason is "because I said so" a child over a certain age should refuse to accept the reasoning. This reasoning is insulting and bullying and is only used to defend a position that makes no rational sense.

Children are capable of critical thought at a young age and usually will listen to sound argumentation.

A parents way of saying, "Ask me again. I fucking dare you."

A thought-terminating cliché used by authoritarian parents to suppress disobedience and critical thinking in children. Often most seen in Asian parents.

An annoying term mostly used by parents when they don’t want their kid oing something that’s perfectly fine but the parent has no logical explanation why they don’t want them doing it, but doesn’t want to admit it
