What does ‘I rest my case’ mean?
It means two things:
1. I am done presenting my argument. (This is used by a lawyer.)
2. You have proved that I what I just said is true. (This is how most people use it.) For example,
Nan: We should buy a new laptop.
Henry: Why? It still works. It's just slow and gets really hot when you use it.
Nan: Exactly! I rest my case.
