A phrase that is used to disregard yet acknowledge someone’s criticism, critique, observation, or suggestion. The connotation is a snide ‘I don’t care what you think. You are probably right, but that doesn't matter. Shut up.’
The situation often ends as an ‘I told you so’
“Bill, you really should turn off the power before you replace that switch” …
“Duly noted” …
