i was just gonna say

What someone says before saying what they are going to say. Often a nervous habit.

Teacher: Billy, do you have something you want to say?

William: I was just gonna say my name is William.


Teacher: William, what is the answer to number four?

William: I was just gonna say that it's Pluto, sir.

What did I just say

Used when someone does the exact opposite of what you just told them not to do. Often used in alarm when someone does something irrational and doesn't think about their action until afterwords.

Tom says : Wait for the water to start boiling then put the Pasta in
Timothy puts the pasta immediately into the pot without waiting
Tom looks at Timothy blankly and says : What did I just say?! I said to wait.
