meat is done. people are finished.

A rude remark made by rude people when someone tries to say they're done with something. Meant to convey that the person saying it is intelligent in some way, but only succeeds in making that person look impolite and pretentious. Incidentally, the supposed grammar rule this is based on is not accepted by any English usage guides.

Person 1: "I'm done with my food"

Person 2: "Meat is done. People are finished."
