Because I said so
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.

Example:
Child: Can I get a switch for my
14th birthday? All my friends have one and I wanna play with them
at recess
Parent: No.
No fun allowed in school, only study.
Child: But why?!
Parent: Because I said so!!!
Some guy sitting next to them in public: *slow claps* Wow! What an answer! I'm sure your child is totally going to believe that one!

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
Example:
John: mom shook is done and
billies my only rid
Mom:
no your not going with billy
John: Why the hell not?
Mom:
BECAUSE I SAID SO
John: THATS NOT AN ANSWER
Mom: I’ll be there to pick you up in 45 —beep—
John: WHAT THE FUCK!

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!
Example:
Billy: "Mom c'mon, please let me
stay at Ben's tonight!"
Mother:"No Billy."
Billy: "Dammit why not!"
Mother: "
Because I said so!"
Billy: "That's not a answer mom!"
Mother: "I'll pick you up in a hour, bye" **click**
Billy: "FUCK!"

Example:
Kid: Why can't I go to
my friend's house tonight?
Mom: Because
Kid: Why
Mom:
Because I said so!
A smart kid
stops the argument and keeps their mouth shut after this has been said.
