coup de grass

Definition

The ultimate, unavoidable conclusion to any teenage argument about chores—no matter how compelling your rhetoric or dramatic your protests, you're still mowing that lawn. It's the parental checkmate that makes all your well-reasoned excuses irrelevant.

Example Usage

I tried every logical argument against yard work, but Dad's 'coup de grass' was simply: 'because I said so.'
