"Get over it" - Pure disregard for a another human being. Disdain of the highest order. Dismissal from an phoney elitist position. I vow never to use such a statement again.
"... I'm just saying." - The ultimate caveat to cover over slights, insults and all stupid hurtful statements. So many people seem to think they have the right of free speech at any time, on any subject, and about any person or situation... as long as it ends with this attachment. I don't have the same oppurtunity of freedom not to listen, with the effect of confrontation seeming rude. They can be rude, insensitive, and ignorant but I can't question, unless of course, ... I'm just saying.
"Are you sure?" and it's corrallary "Really?" - Ask this after all statements up to and including "The sky is blue" and "The grass is green." Pretend like you are listening helps bury deep self-doubt and shake confidence. Control all conversation and its outcome with this device.
