I have been just sayin’ that I hate detest dislike this phrase in almost all its manifestations for some time. No one cares what I think though…just saying. <—Terrible, right?

Finally, some one else wrote the post going postal on this ubiquitous, iniquitous expression.

Thank you, Jon Acuff:

“One part snark + One part bitterness + Just saying = Complete forgiveness for whatever you’ve just said…”

“…It’s cowardly. I’ve used this phrase before, and the reason I did was because I was being a wuss. I had something I wanted to say but still wanted to hold on to my thin veneer of holiness, so I said something mean and then ended the thought with ‘just saying’.”

See the whole post on Jon’s 4 reasons he hates the phrase, here.

Note: I’m aware this phrase can be used innocently. Don’t get all offended and stuff. I’m just…nevermind.
