I'll pay that

Used by Australians to positively affirm a statement/opinion someone makes/has. The saying originates from Australian Rules Football, Australia's national sport, where an umpire "pays" a free kick, a mark (catch from a kick), etc.

To be dumbfounded by someones comment, then allowing that comment to pass or giving them credit for what they said.
