I have decided I am not a fan of, “just sayin”.

I'm sure you've heard it. It is usually appended at the end of a statement of opinion.

•“That jacket does not show off your best features. Just sayin'.”
•“That color looks like something you'd find in the babies diaper. Just sayin'.”
•“It seems like you could find a better way to spend your spare time. Just sayin'.”

People use the phrase “just sayin” as a softener. A disclaimer.

A way of indicating, “I have a serious opinion about this, but I'm afraid you won't like it. So let's pretend I don't really mean it-that I'm ‘just saying' it, but don't expect you to do anything about it or even take me seriously.”

I'm working on this: if I say it, I mean it. And if I don't mean it, I don't say it.
