My dad is a pretty weird dude. He's a teacher, so he's got a repertoire of goofy phrases. While being short in stature for his entire life he learned to become very defensive. Being one of his four children has also resulted in all of us being short. Our father always told us to never let someone pick on us. He always told us these silly phrases. It would always start with someone who is taller referring to my father as short or something. Then my father will say something like: "I will take you off at the knees. Then we'll see how high and mighty you are." This phrase influences my siblings and I to think of ourselves as equally as powerful as anyone else.
