as usual, the good folk at LLSU have taken this concept and gone viral with it. here's an epic example:
Not all phrases must go viral to be reviled. "I'm just sayin'" festered for a while in the lexicon before coming up for banishment this year.
"Obviously you are saying it — you just said it!" wrote Catherine Wilson of Granger, Ind.
a typical usage of this is meant to be hyperbolic and perhaps ironic. but then they probly don't do irony at LLSU. (hyperbole, OTOH, can be found in abundance - I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'!)
