Phrase most notably used by teachers as a replacement for "I was incorrect," or "I presented the wrong information (on purpose)."

The usage of this phrase is likely a result in the instructor's attempt to be make witty statements; however no extra attention is given to "I lied" over "My mistake" or "This new concept renders the old one false."

Origin unknown. The phrase may have started with teenagers who felt the need to express faults in a comical manner. It seems that the trend ended, and teenagers have reverted to "just kidding," which has been reduced to "j.k. j.k." Middle school and high school instructors must have picked up the trend upon hearing several students use the term.

See: jk, j/k, jp

Hym "I never lied. You stole. You lied and are lying. What you are doing as incest cultists is deciding internally what is fact and fiction (a priori) and then promoting 'the opposite of what you don't want be true' explicitly and if DOING THAT gets a all killed... That's GOOD because the bible says that Armageddon is SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!"

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
