Stupid things that I hate about people

The Phrase "Just saying"

okay this is just a rant about why find the phrase "just saying" incredibly stupid, mainly because it's used by stupid people who don't have any way to refine their argument.(note: for those of you that don't know how to use words in context. The word Argument does not necessarily describe a time of fighting or arguing amongst people but rather one's reasoning for or against something.) Anyway, I have no idea why people even use the phrase "just saying" or what people think it means. Most times, people use the phrase in an attempt to refute others who claims that they are saying something in some form that is insulting.

for example: Person A is ranting about someone that they don't like, and saying a bunch of reasons why they don't like this person and things about this person they find annoying. Person B then proceeds to tell this person to stop talking shit and calm down. Person A then proceeds to say "I'm not talking shit, I'm just saying."

example 2: Person A is saying, "where did you get the nickname (insert nickname here.)" Person B then says "don't ask." Person A then continues to say "I'm not asking I'm just saying." Person B then says "well don't even wonder about it." Person A continues to insist "I'm not wondering I'm just saying."

Both of the above scenarios were indeed taken from real life.

Anyway, i don't understand people's reasoning when they use the phrase "just saying." Most people use it to assert that they are not saying something in some way. But if you are indeed one of those brain-dead morons you probably don't realize that "just saying" has the same denotative meaning as pretty much any other form of saying something. Such as; asking a question, thinking aloud, talking shit. Those will all have the same denotative meaning as "just saying." I hate how people say that they're "just saying" because it really doesn't mean anything, and it certainly doesn't refute other people who claim you are saying something in some other way. it's a filler, it's like "whatever" it doesn't mean anything, but any moron can put it anywhere.
