Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Peter doesn't argue with Meg, he deletes her, and the casualness is the joke: she can be mid-sentence, agreeing with him, and still get shut down. The line works as a verbal shrug, so fans use it as a reaction in comments and chats whenever someone speaks up at the wrong moment, and the gag has become part of how the show treats her.

Spoilers for Family GuyShow the scene
The family's standing way of silencing its daughter. In "Deep Throats" (season 4, episode 23, first aired 9 April 2006), Brian has just ranted about a pop song, and Chris gleefully declares that he is "the new Meg". Meg cheerfully agrees that he is the new her, and Peter, not even looking up, tells her to shut up. It is a running gag: Meg's own wiki page lists the family's constant mistreatment of her as a defining trait.
