The age-old "easy for you to say" confirmation that you would indeed be kind/liberal with extra resources **if you had them**.
A "classic" tongue-in-cheek reference to hypothetical generosity is related in the humorous short story "Downeast Socialism", by Maine humorist Marshall Dodge: Ethan Robay was tellin' Enoch Turner 'bout the lectshuh he'd heard Norman Thomas give about Socialism. "It's all 'bout SHARIN', Enoch --- with socialism, a fella SHAYUHS ever'thin' with his neighbuh."
"Does dat mean, Ethan, dat if you had two fahms, you'd give me one of dem?" Enoch asked.
"Ayuh --- if I had two fahms, Enoch, I'd give you one of them," Ethan replied.
"And does dat also mean, if you had two hay-rakes, you'd give me one of dem, too?" Enoch puhsisted.
"Yuh --- if I had two hay-rakes, I'd give you one of them," Ethan confirmed.
Enoch cocked his nose a might and flashed Ethan a crafty smirk. "And if you had two **hogs**, Ethan --- would you give me one of DEM??"
"DANG you, Enoch --- you KNOW that I **got** two HOGS!"

Get the hypothetical meniscus mug.a word used frequently in discussions to escape criticism on a topic or get out from a discussion they have started
typical toku fandom discussion:
G: the third rider in decade should have been the color yellow because of CMYK
S: This CMYK bullshit is nonsense
G: Yes it does they talked about it in the decade .5 eps too
S: Give us proof then
*After proving that guy 2 was wrong*
S: the only part of CMYK that makes sense is "CM" because DiEnd is Cyan and Decade is Magenta(apparently)
G:Also i said this was hypothetical
S: I hate the word "hypothetical" btw..because you can just use it to get out of any discussion
