I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'

Trying to let someone thing you're "not sayin'", when, in fact, you most certainly ARE "sayin'".

Trying to make it seem like you are not saying anything unkind or questionable, but then admitting that you are. It happens so fast, no one will be the wiser...

Beezus : Does this pair of jeggings make my ass look enormous ?
Ramona: Well, maybe a little.

Beezus : Dang - for reals ?
Ramona: Hey, I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'

Basically means "I'm not implying anything, I'm just making an observation". Which of course doesn't mean that the person *isn't* in fact saying, i.e. implying.

Mitt Romney sure made a 180 on national healthcare... I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

Fleg

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.

"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
