Every so often, one comes across some quirky exception to the English language. Today's happened to be the quote "I'm just saying..." said by numerous people in countless contexts. One could say "I'm just saying" immediately following an awkward comment they should never have said. For example: "They should just go out on a date already because they flirt way too much...[awkward pause as they enter the room]
...I'm just saying."
One could also say "I'm just saying" following a third-party comment that offends someone in the room. For example: "I think you're the one that should be apologizing...[glare from accused]
...I'm just saying."
One could even say "I'm just saying" immediately after a well-known piece of information was recently stated. For example: "I think things are definitely going to change now that Obama was elected President...["duhh" look from everyone in room]
...I'm just saying."
On its own, the line "I'm just saying" is funny enough, but when someone uses the line for all three aforementioned examples - in one hour - it is a whole different level of funny.
