I Understand

Heh... Reminds me of what I said about kids surpassing their parents...

Hym "Oh no I understand... I understand. And I understand what you want me to do but I'm not entirely certain how to go about doing it in such a way that it prevents them from doing what I know that are trying to do... A higher level of certainty is required. I'm still not even sure what I've already done is enough... This sucks. This suuuucks! Heh, therein lies the flaw in my philosophy I suppose..."

I understand that, but 

Used in exasperation during an argument, with a notable impatience intended to slightly patronize the other party while furthering the speaker's other reasons.

Look, I didn't mean to shoot Marvin in the face.

I understand that, but that doesn't change the fact he's dead.

I understand that. 

Phrase used by persons who aren't really listening to you but wish to appear to be doing so. Usually used when on the telephone so neither of you is making eye contact.

You are telling a story and your friend, who hasn't responded the entire time, suddenly chimes in with "I understand that."

I understand the confusion 

The most polite way to start a Canadian “fuck you”, using ‘I understand the confusion” can be used to start the most polite “fuck you” statement any person will hear in their entire life.

Me: “What colour do you all see?”
American: “Why did you spell ‘color’ with a u?”
Me: “I am sorry. I understand the confusion, but I live in Canada where we spend things correctly.”
