Hot new idea

Every time someone begins a reply on a blog or tweet with the words "You DO realise that...", or ends with "I'll wait", they instantly get a splitting headache

Celestia, make it happen

You DO realise that I'll wait.

There. They cancel each other out. I'm safe!

Nooooooooooooooo!

Anyway I don't want you to have a headache. You're nice. I'm sure Celestia would make an exception for nice people who accidentally tripped the curse while trying to be kind or helpful, rather than sarcastic.

Now that I think about it, it's kinda alarming how many similar phrases to these I've been using:

• "I'm just saying."
• "Don't get me wrong, I don't fully disagree with you, but..."
• "I dunno, I'm just spitballing here."
• "I'm open to counterarguments."

You do realize this will never happen, right?

Don't believe me? Watch. I'll wait.

I have no regrets.

I've noticed a tendency for myself to start posts with "I mean" when I'm not actually meaning anything. c.c

Similarly, don't you think it's weird how people say "I'm just saying" like it exempts them from what they're saying? Like, how many more examples of this inefficient economy of words that is the English language can we find?
