Really my intelligent reworking of the phrase “forget I ever said anything”. it is much more useful, especially when you are conversing with someone who says something dumb. It’s like, hey buddy, this one’s on u!
Really good tactic. promise!
anytime i say something a bit stupid and someone goes "what was that eilidh, come again?" and i don't want to repeat it because i have now heard it out loud and don't care for the sentence, i simply say "sorry that was an inside thought that managed to escape don't you worry"
works a charm
