"Just Sayin"
Stop it...just stop it.
You want to make a comment but don't want to stand behind it.
So, you go non-committal and say "Just saying".
I think if I hear it again I am gonna throw puppy off a cliff.....
ok
maybe not a puppy
but a cat.
(damn cat ranchers)

I find the former useful only with two or more people. The examples I can think of always include me clarifying something someone else said and using the 'with that being said' segue to delineate his thoughts from my thoughts on the matter. I think that is the original (most) correct usage of the phrase and see it misused all the time. At that point, it's irritating like too, to, and two or there, their, and they're.

Dude.........
I think I know who that is...I went to USAF pilot training with him! (More likely, just one of the many).

"Overuse of the word 'Literally' figuratively drives me insane!!"

With all due respect, I find it ironic that people are literally up in arms about this. I mean, really? It is what it is people, so.. Like, get a life, or something.
At the end of the day, you know, you can write paragraphs without really saying anything, and that's saying something.

If you are flying with someone else, you absolutely HAVE to start every phrase and conversation with "AND" when they do this...It's doubly fun when you are an instructor simulating a student, cause then you can just go crazy with it...
