A phrase unbelievably overused in the United Kingdom. Mostly by morons to be fair.

While "to be fair" is oftentimes overused and misused, it does serve a legitimate role.

When someone makes too many partial assertions and you feel as though they are intentionally ignoring some aspect -- i.e. they aren't being fair -- then you can use the phrase to introduce your counterpoint.

"To be fair" is not intended to completely put down the other person's points. Rather, it simply sheds light on the opposing perspective that has been overlooked.

Ideally, the phrase should be used to highlight an equally valid counterpoint. If you fail to do this, then your point is "pointless," and it is better left unsaid.

A phrase that precedes a series of statements that, taken as a whole, are completely incorrect. This phase is commonly bandied about on a certain prestigious law school forum, populated by only a handful of people who happen each to have more than a dozen aliases, giving them the false impression that they're actually socializing.

I hate this phrase, when are these pricks gonna start using TBF

Basically means "fair enough"

It means that how much you paid for is perfectly worth that stuff.

A term used by whiny children who don't get what they want.
