This little saying popped up a little while back and now it's spreading like wild fire. I can't figure out what the origin is, but it's climbing into the rankings with the likes of:
"Talk to the hand"
"Can you hear me now?"
"Doh!"
"Watchu talk bout Willis?"
"That's what she said"
"Just do it"
"I'm just chillaxin"
"Your mom went to college"
"What up Dawg"
and
"You'll end up living in a van, down by the river!"
(Well maybe not that last one)
Here it is: "Just sayin"
I'll give you an example:
"Did you see Sara's new haircut?"
"Yeah, it looks good"
"Well, I think it looks like crap, Just sayin"
It's like someone just gave you free reign to say whatever you want, and as long as you say: "Just sayin" at the end then you're all good - can't be mad at me because I'm just sayin...........
(I said no offense)
At no other time throughout you're day is it important to tell people what you just did.......
While walking up the stairs: "Good morning, Just walkin"
While typing: "Sorry hold on a sec, Just typin"
While eating lunch: "So how have you been, Just eatin"
While driving down Eureka Rd.: "What is your problem? why can't you just learn how to drive, Just ragin"
Other people disguise that fact that they are really just pushing their opinions onto you - in a somewhat subtle way (but not really).
I'm "Just sayin" that's all I'm doing. I'm not "Just tellin" you how its gonna be
or
I'm not "Just screamin" at you for leaving all the lights on
or
I'm not "Just stadin" up for what's right....nooooooooo... I'm"Just sayin" so that means that it's not as offensive.
It's just another way for people to take a neutral standing on something.......While actually having a strong opinion on the matter...........
Just sayin
