Must've been the wind
phrase
The default, automatic response given by someone experiencing auditory hallucinations (often associated with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders) when they hear a voice, sound, or noise that isn't there, and they need to quickly dismiss it to a concerned person nearby.
It's the verbal equivalent of hitting "dismiss" on a pop-up ad in your brain. The person saying it knows, on some level, that the source is internal, but saying this phrase is a coping mechanism to maintain a facade of normalcy and avoid further questions.
A phrase used to sarcastically or darkly describe the moment you realize you're having a symptom, but you're trying to play it cool so no one freaks out.
More broadly, any dismissive explanation for something clearly paranormal, supernatural, or just plain weird.

TLDU
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.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
