I choose violence

== English == === Etymology === Presumably inspired by a scene in the episode "No One" (2016) of the television series Game of Thrones, in which Cersei Lannister, facing clerical detention and ordered to restrain her bodyguard, calmly responds, "I choose violence." === Pronunciation === === Phrase === I choose violence (Internet slang, humorous, idiomatic) Used to express that one is firmly committed to making one's own choice(s) regardless of disapproval from others. 2023, Jamie Loftus, Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs, unnumbered pages: On my last night in town before heading to the Midwest, I decide to try the hot dog at the Cape Cod Cafe. The suggestion draws some mockery on both sides of the family, who know damn well that coming to CCC without getting a bar pizza is a waste of their money (I offer to pay: "Oh my God, Mrs. Hollywood with her own frickin' money, huh," an aunt says before slapping down a Visa with travel points). It is overpriced, eight dollars without any description except "hot dog." I choose violence. I order the hot dog. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see I,‎ choose,‎ violence. === See also === choose violence === References ===
