2015年3月6日 · • Basically "I'm just saying" or the more colloquial, I'm just sayin', is a humorous way of pointing out a flaw in logic, often delivered as a quip or a jab. The intended purpose can be to stop someone from continuing an already illogical argument or statement, or as a way of rebutting the statement once it is completed.

I believe it's a British phrase but unfortunately, if the person happens to ask me what it means, I can only admit That I don't know. I'm pretty sure it is a sarcastic way of saying "fine" (e.g.; F.I.N.E.)but really wish I knew for sure and how the phrase came into the fringe if the English language.

I'm pretty confident in my conclusion, but I'm not sure that that's the actual reason why you shouldn't press that button.) I'm guessing it would make the airplane hard to control.

2013年11月19日 · @JSBձոգչ in the example of "I'm not a racist, but" generally the following statement is an untruth that the speaker genuinely believes, and hence not a lie, whereas the qualifier is an untruth that they may or may not believe, so it's potentially a lie: it will be said both by racists who honestly don't believe they're racist, and racists ...

2020年6月5日 · Also, as you write in one of the examples, I'm looking for better insights sounds correct (and using plural is fine), but in such choices it is better to offer a user two different ways that intersect very little or do not intersect at all - it is better to use antonyms or, if possible, context antonyms, to be precise, because a car expert ...
