how dare you
Affronted outburst phrase
How dare you is an exclamation of indignant outrage at someone's behavior, expressing that they have crossed a line of propriety or respect: How dare you speak to me that way!
The phrase demands accountability while signaling moral affront.
It became a cultural catchphrase after climate activist Greta Thunberg's 2019 UN speech, now sometimes used with ironic exaggeration for minor offenses: How dare you eat the last cookie.
