[He]said something that made it impossible to continue working for him.[ The exact words were] You're fired.

About This Quote

The saying “You’re fired” has taken on new meaning in the 21st century. Rather than being used to terminate an employee, the phrase is now commonly used to fire someone's smartphone or any other device that is connected to the internet. The saying is not only a way to end a relationship, but also a way to end a bad experience with a person or company. The original owner of the phrase was a character named Mr.

Slappy from the cartoon series "The Simpsons." He was a villain who attempted to take over Springfield and eliminated those who stood in his way. Whenever he fired someone, he would scream out “You’re fired” as he did so, which became an important part of the character's power.
