Shouldn't this thread have one of those warnings you always get on TV about adult content?

Don't be silly Merv - this thread is more akin to 'Children's Hour'.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Does that make Cubie Andy Pandy and Blod Looby Loo?

Definitely - but that leaves you as 'little weed' or maybe one of the Trumpton Clan

Good news that muffin the mule is no longer an offence. Just saying.....

Although I understand the use of the comment "just saying" I wondered what Mr Google had to say about it, and I attach the following to enlighten everyone.
I think that number 3 seems to fit most of the frequent users of this comment...just saying.


Here is what some people say "Just Saying" could possibly mean:

The person wants to share information without having to explain it further.
It's really an attempt to make an extremely weak argument to make the speaker's point good in the face those who might argue against it.
The person using this term doesn't have to or want to invest any amount of critical thinking skills and logic to support the position or to offer an explanation.
So as to not offend anyone, or to place emphasis on the fact that it is an opinion being stated saying "I'm just sayin'" at the end is to curtail any arguments based on what was just said.
The general use of the post-positive "I'm just sayin'" is meant to excuse having said something impolite or inappropriate.
This is said after an editorial comment. The speaker doesn't want to be held responsible for the consequences or the proof to support his opinion.
This is a way to cut down on any argument or explanation about what was just said. Saying "I'm just sayin'" is to be used immediately after a distasteful opinion is given. No response is appropriate.
Like a rhetorical question, this is a rhetorical remark that needs no response.

Are you having a pop at that splendid fellow Merv, Towny? Just askin'....

[towny44]

Shiney, If I was having a pop at anyone then presumably the addition of "just saying" at the end of the comment excuses me from any accusation of any sort of bad manners, doesn't it?

[Silver_Shiney]

Towny, you do realise that my comment was strictly TIC??

Bien sûr

To change the subject, yesterday a fired of mine, unimpressed with the absorbency of a certain well known brand of kitchen roll, opined that the character in the advert should be renamed Arthur Roll, and the phrase 'strong as bull' should be replaced by 'load of bull'.


Mind you, he had just upended a full cup of coffee..............................!

[Mervyn and Trish]

Towny, you do realise that my comment was strictly TIC??

Naturellement, mon petit.

Enough already.

Actually my devious purpose is not among those listed. I merely wanted to see how long it would be until someone commented and who it would be. And Towny gets the prize.

Just saying........

Well you were.......briefly!

[Mervyn and Trish]

As were you....

Everyone for themselves.

[Silver_Shiney]

As everyone is so intent on looking after Number One these days, Merv and I would just like to thank you all for your generous support

[Not so ancient mariner]

Raspberries!

[Silver_Shiney]

No, just the unstinting support. However, some strawberries would go down nicely
