Playground retort

ARE SO

["Think of what you might shout back when someone teases you with \"are not\"—it’s a classic comeback that flips the phrase."]

This clue plays on a classic schoolyard comeback. When kids argue, one might say "You are!" and the other fires back "Are so!"—a playful way to insist they're right. The answer mimics that childish retort, making it a nostalgic fit for a playground setting. It’s a simple phrase but instantly recognizable to anyone who’s heard kids bicker.
