Just saying
意味: A tag phrase used after a statement to soften it or distance yourself from its implications.
'Just saying' is the American art of plausible deniability in conversation. After dropping an opinion, observation, or subtle criticism, adding 'just saying' lets you claim you're merely sharing information without judgment. In practice, it often highlights the very point you're supposedly not making.
