Can confirm
Significado: A humorous way of verifying something from personal experience.
Can confirm borrows the formal tone of official statements and applies it to everyday observations. It adds a layer of mock authority to mundane claims. 'Mondays are terrible — can confirm.' The humor comes from treating personal experience as if it were an official verification.
