I know what you mean... 

A variation of "that's what she said." Usually expressed with obvious knowledge, but in fact, they are taking your words completely out of context.
Sam: Are Tracey and Caleb expecting kids soon?
Leslie: No... they're just taking some time to get to know each other...
Sam: Ohh, I know what you mean...
Leslie: *confused stare*

...is what I meant to say! 

A poor method of recovery when someone highlights your mistake in a sentence.
Person A: "I swear I was born in the wrong century!"
Person B: "You mean 'decade'."
Person A: "...is what I meant to say!"

Is that what I meant when I said it 

Because you're repeating the thing I said.
Hym "Is that what I meant when I said it? So, either you're illiterate or you know you're being a piece of shit and you think I'm not going to do anything about. Ok. The ONLY... Thing I am going to do in life... Is something about that thing you did just there. I refuse to do anything other than that."

I know what THAT means 

A verbal prank commonly used by in a conversation, with the intent of annoying the listener. In this prank, there are two parties having a conversation: person A (the pranked) and person B (the pranker). Person A makes a simple, innocent remark with no double meanings. Person B initiates the prank and replies, "I know what THAT means" (note the emphasis on the word "that").

The prank is that person A begins to feel insecure or uncomfortable about what they have said, because the phrase, "I know what THAT means" gives the impression that person B misunderstood what was said (i.e. thinks it has a sexual meaning, or thinks they're lying about something). Person A is completely unaware that person B is just trying to annoy them.

After this, person B could proceed to only say, "I know what THAT means."
Dwight (person A): Hey man, I just remembered, that new Eminem album is out today! Wanna go get it?
Jim (person B): I know what THAT means...
Dwight: Um, what do you...think it means?
Jim: I know what THAT means...
Dwight: **quizzical look on face** um, all I asked was, wanna get the new Eminem album...?
Jim: I know what THAT means...
Dwight: **getting kind of annoyed** do you wanna get the new Eminem album or not?
Jim: I know what THAT means...
Dwight: **more annoyed** what does it mean?! Eminem album or not?
Jim: I know what THAT me--
Dwight: **angry** WHAT? WHAT?!
Jim: I know wh--
Dwight: WHAT DOES IT MEAN??!! WHAT??!!
