What do I mean when I say "humans!"

wispfoxOr perhaps "because humans"? Conversation with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
metahacker resulted in me trying to figure this out. :)
I think there's a certain amount of 'this thing that someone/a group of people is doing or has done confuses me immensely and thus I feel like an alien.' Probably see 'autism spectrum', I R on it, here.
Also, some 'this thing bothers me and it comes up too often for me to put any brain space into it right now.' Usually sexism, I think.
I don't think I use it to suggest that this is a thing that people - all people - do and I just need to accept that. I am aware that other people do use it this way!
I may use 'because cat' in that kind of way, though. Hmm... even that may be more of a case of "this is a thing that only makes sense because you are a cat", rather than "and every cat does this thing that you are doing right now".
Do any of you use a phrase something like this? And if so, what do you mean by it?

The usage pattern I think of is "for reasons which exist but may or may not be actually relevant to the topic at hand but I don't feel like discussing so I'm not even going to bother with a description." I think this sums it up reasonably well: http://threewordphrase.com/pardonme.htm
