A stupidass comeback your parents use when you have a correct answer to a question or a way to desolate a situation.
"Wouldn't it be better if-"
"Don't talk back to me!"
"But I thought it-"
"I said stop talking back to me young man!"
"Fine, ill sto-"
"GO TO YOUR ROOM!"

(1.) An asinine term said by fucked up authority figures, who think age should trump critical thinking, common sense, honest dialogue, or any sense of reasonableness.
There's a reason no adult accuses another adult of "talking back". It's as stupid as accusing a bird of chirping. If an adult wants to tell another adult they're being disrespectful, they use the term, "talking smack."
"Talking back" in contrast, is just the natural response anyone should expect, when they direct their words at another person. If someone does not wish to have a response to the things they are saying, furniture, inanimate objects, and non-human animals are available.
(2.) An adult example of regression, in which age is used as an excuse to not give an adult response, and instead basically tell someone to shut up.
Person A: Stop talking back to me sunny boy!
Person B: Okay. Your wish is my command. *executes 6 month vow of silence*
It's when someone makes you angry and you Talk Back,
for example your getting bullied by teenagers and you just snap
Talk Back is when you talk back to almost anyone that makes you snap, or mad
for example:
bully: Your life is so sad, ahhahah
Y/N: well because your in it!
bully: well fight me then!
Y/N: but that would be animal abuse
bully: ....alright i give up

Attempting to reason, make a point, or clear up misunderstandings with adults, often leading to getting in trouble.
Don't start talking back to me
Term news stations use to refer to a shorter type of interview
Producer: Hey director, did you press record for that fantastic talk back we just did with the new Mayor?
Director: Sorry, I forgot to hit record, it will never happen again.
