I'm just saying

It seems odd to me that you can say anything you want to someone and then nullify the power (and/or sting) of it by explaining, "I'm just saying." I mean, I know you were just saying. I realize that no action accompanied your words. Still, the words do have meaning, right? Even if you were "just saying."

No, I haven't recently been stung by someone using this verbal tool.

I'm just saying.

Is this how we're playing? You're calling me out?

I also like the, "I don't mean that in a bad way" comment. For example..."You're an idiot! I don't mean that in a bad way."

I'm just saying.

I'm not really calling you out... Promise.

I didn't mean it in a bad way.

It's like blaming your verbal vomit on the invisible inner child.

Would that work in a fist fight? You punch someone in the face and then go, "I'm just saying."

Josh Reich said...

i'm glad your just saying. how long has it been since you've said anything in the blogosphere.

Jesus said some stinging things and He didn't say, "I'm just saying." He meant them. "You whitewashed tombs full of dead men's bones!"

Kelsey said...

Lance, you wrote a very interesting blog.

I'm just saying.

Kelsey said...

P.S. I don't mean that in a bad way...

I fear that I was the catalyst for this post...as I used the "i'm just saying" over on Clay's blog.

I'm not trying to make this all about me, but it doesn't seem LKB's post came remarkably soon after my comment.

I am awesome.

Todd,

What color is the sky in your world?

Todd Wright said...

The color of Shut Up Juice. Why don't you have a tall glass...

Lance said...

Todd Wright said...

They said they hope you're dead.

Jessica said...

let's think of the lamest ways to diss someone else and put them as comments on Lance's blog.

i'm just saying.

Jessica said...
