Well yes, but actually no

A phrase often used to point out instances of technicality, ambiguity, or hypocrisy.

1. A technicality. The meaning of the phrase in this context is "well yes, technically you are correct about superficial elements, but actually no, you are wrong about the substance in some way that invalidates the premise."

2. Ambiguity. The meaning of the phrase in this context is "well yes, some elements of this that have merit, but actually no, there are further details that must be considered."

3. Hypocrisy. The meaning of the phrase in this context is "well yes, I will say something to you to temporarily satisfy you, but actually no, my true actions will go against what I've said."

Actually Bad

Ok so there's bad and then there's ACTUALLY BAD which is so much worse than regular bad.
For example, if you took a test and got a normal question wrong, you would be bad, but if you got the easiest question wrong you would be actually bad and be roasted in class.

Sam : Hey so I don't remember what pi is can you tell me again?

Teacher: oml Sam you're ACTUALLY BAD!

Not actually my President

When all you hear about on the news and social media is Donald Trump and you don't live in America.

I almost never hear about any of my own country's news. All the news has been is Trump this and Trump that and he's not actually my President.
