“I could be wrong but”
“I am sorry if this has been done before, I did a search but couldn’t find it/couldn’t do a search because xxx is only 3 letters”
“This is just my opinion but”
“I saw on the Discovery Channel once…”
“Correct me if I’m wrong, but…(monologue begins)…”
“See what you made me do…”
“Now you made me lose my train of thought! Now, where was I…”
“Having said that…”
Used after a very long post, and then followed by a self-rebuttal of everything that was written previously.
Having said that, I can’t stop doing it. :smack:
anything anyone says while making quote marks in the air with their fingers .:dubious:
“Needless to say…” [then why do you need to say it?]
“Not to mention…” [then why mention it?]
“To make a long story short…” [too late!]
Barry
“so to speak”
“as it were”
“In My Humble Opinion…”
I just **had **to include that one.
“…if you want the truth…”
No, lie to me. I like it.
That goes with out saying
“You just want everything done your way” Translation: [You like to have things done in the manner that you consider desirable]
You guys are too picky. These aren’t meant to be taken literally; they’re just convenient transition devices for when ideas don’t quite flow together in a nice way.
“No offence, but…[insert random personal attack.”
Saying no offence in front of something that’s personally offensive doesn’t magically make the statement any less offensive.
Not quite sure that this qualifies…but my mom once told me that if you tell something personal about yourself to anyone…and you feel the need to follow it up with-
“But dont tell anyone…”
You just told the wrong person.
What’s THAT supposed to mean? (When spoken by my SO, this means: I know exactly what you said but I want to fight about something.)
me: whats that?
asshole man: “you don’t know what that is?”
This one ticks me off so much I want to strangle whoever says it to me. It’s so deroggatory and just plain mean.
