To be fair though

when you’re agreeing with your mates but your ADHD kicks in.
Harry: That’s kinda cool.
Vikk: To be fair though..
JJ & Tobi: To be fair though what? Vikk?
Vikk: Did I? I thought it was Harry that said that.
JJ: Vikk, Vikk, you literally said ‘to be fair though’
Vikk: oh wait, wait, I was agreeing with Harry.

Fair Witness

A "Fair Witness" is a fictional profession in the book "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein. In the book, Fair Witnesses were individuals trained to see the world around them, as literally as possible, until sensed (see/hear/smell/taste/touch) otherwise.

Another way to describe it would be someone that takes all things sensed as literal as possible & have no reason to believe what they just sensed will remain that way when they are no longer sensing them (seeing/tasting/etc.)
An excerpt from the book itself, where the character referenced as "Anne" is an off-duty Fair Witness:

Jubal to Jill: "Even Cavendish did not--at least he won't say so. You know how Fair Witnesses behave."

Jill: "Well...no, I don't. I've never met one."

Jubal to Jill: "So? ANNE!"

Anne was on the springboard; she turned her head. Jubal called out, "That house on the hilltop--can you see what color they've painted it?"

Anne looked, then answered, "It's white on this side."

Jubal went on to Jill: "You see? It doesn't occur to Anne to infer that the other side is white, too. All the King's horses couldn't force her to commit herself...unless she went there and looked--and even then she wouldn't assume that it stayed white after she left."

fair-weather

A fan that only supports their team when it is winning, or only likes a team because it is popular or successful. Apt to jump on and off the bandwagon as their team has it's ups and downs. They ultimately often do not care too much for the team.
I hate seeing all those fair-weather Red Sox fans that came out of nowhere after the 2004 world series.

life ain't fair

A phrase which seems to be able to justify any means people may use to fuck you over.
"What the fuck! You fucked my girlfriend, killed my dog, stole my life's savings and burned down my house! I thought you were my friend!"

"Hey, life ain't fair, man."
