Well just one actually, but I thought others here might have some more to add.
I've noticed something becoming more prevalent lately, online and in the real world - the phrase "Just sayin'".
It is being used to follow insulting remarks in order to take some of the "sting" out of what's being said. Examples:
I can't believe you'd say someething so stupid! ...Just sayin'.
That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen. ...Just sayin'.
Sometimes it seems to be used tongue-in-cheek, other times I'm not sure.
