Great question! It's a slang interjection which means that there's nothing else to say after that, the statement is final and won't be debated. It implies that there's no counterargument to make! You may also sometimes see it written as "periodt," which is considered slightly more dramatic. Ex: Chocolate ice cream is the best. Period. Ex: Adele better win an award for her new album, periodt!
