If I asked my Dad a question with a difficult answer (like, why the sea blue? or why are these sweets hard?) he'd always answewr, 'Ah, that's Duter' and left it at that. It took me long time to discover that 'Duter' was not some mysterious force but the sea is blue 'due to' the reflection of the sky, and my sweets were hard 'due to' their being made out of boiled sugar! Now Dad is gone, Mum and I still say, 'That's Duter' if we can't answer a question.
