After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion the phrase, "Just Sayin'" needs to be stomped out from common usage.
Grown adults say things, or they don't say things, but they don't just say things. The only people who just say things- blurt out their thoughts without consideration or context- are small children and people with serious mental disorders such as Tourette's Syndrome. When a person denotes their most recent utterance with "Just Sayin'," most commonly after having said something offensive, they are excusing their inability to control themselves thereby hoping to lessen any offense. I think its therefore important to a. not use the phrase myself, and b. point out, when socially appropriate, to other people what a a terrible phrase it is.
