Do the Dishes Because I Said So

Hey do the dishes y Because I said so y Stop asking y f(x) Listen here you little shit

A text-message exchange shows a parent ordering someone to do the dishes and dismissing repeated questions with “because I said so.” The punchline is that the final “y” is replaced by the mathematical function notation “f(x),” prompting Alex from Madagascar to issue an exaggerated angry reaction. It is used when someone overcomplicates a simple question or pushes back against an arbitrary demand.
