Filler phrase so you can quick come up with a random statement. Often followed by a very unthoughtful statement that the person did not in fact mean to say.

Other ways it can be used is if you are in fact trying to be honest.

1. To be completely honest, I really think you complain too much... Wait I didn't phrase that right!
