Evil
English isn't my first language so I sometimes have trouble with its nuances. I am a semi-regular user of FriendFeed, a service where you can read people's comments on various topics and threads. Semi-regularly, I will come across a comment like this:
"I'm just sayin'..."
or a variation:
"I'm not sayin', but just sayin'..."
What does this mean??!! I don't even know what it means and everytime I see it, it bothers me. It just seems like a douchy thing to write. Does it mean any of the following:
"I told you so."
"I am telling you so... even before the fact."
"I don't want to say outright that you're a dumbass, so I will just imply it."
Anyone know?
