About
A universal statement used to explain or excuse any incident or situation. To be most effective, phrase must be uttered matter-of-factly, with one’s eyes half-closed to signify as much smugness and mystique as possible. (Urban Dictionary)
Origin
Charles Bartholomew “Chuck” Bass is a fictional character in the Gossip Girl series of novels and the television series of the same name, in which he is portrayed by English actor Ed Westwick. Although he is a secondary, antagonistic character in the original book series, in the television series Chuck is portrayed as an anti-heroic character and is one of the main characters. The television series character is noted for his financial ambition, hedonistic lifestyle, and personal style. (Wiki)
In the beginning of the series when Chuck is asked why he should be chosen to be an usher at an Ivy Week School Mixer he responds with “Why should I be chosen to be an usher?…. I’m Chuck Bass”. As the series progresses this becomes his catchphrase and even other characters mention “He’s Chuck Bass” as an explanation for his behavior (usually promiscuous).
