Do you think this is the best?

I’m just sayin’ is what you say to get out of almost any sticky situation. It takes the offense out of your words, while solidifying them as fact. For example, you’re at a grocery store. You see the prices have gone up. You say to the cashier, “Man, your prices really fucking suck today”, and before the people in line label you as a douche bag, killing any credit you may have had, you humbly add, “I’m just sayin’”. And everyone, even the mom with the 2 and 7 year old kids, nod their heads in agreement.

It seems I more or less used this technique here before I even stumbled across this entry.
... does that count?
Too short. You have to carry it out longer. “Saying” also doesn’t have the euphonous sound to it. End on “n” and leave the “In” in there. That way you don’t sound insincere. I’m Just Sayin’.
Yes, I see. The use of a personal pronoun creates a more natural flow and adds an element of intimacy, while omitting the final ‘g’ sound suggests a certain guilelessness, engendering trust.
I have so much to learn.
Right! I actually think you’ve completed the class. If you have any questions on uses, let me know.
Awesome. Do I get a certificate of some kind? I’d like to have something to show to William Safire.
”... something to show to William Safire.” Excellent! :D
:)
Bailey… I’m but a boy. I know only a bit of this William Safire. Not enough to get your joke however.
Wow! I’m so happy I have 7 backers on our Best Of Forum! I couldn’t think of anything much for the pictures. Any suggestions?
