I don’t care how smooth or pleasant it sounds when peppering the term “thats a good question” into a conversation, I think it’s an overused and meaningless slogan. The bottom line is, so what if it is a “good question”. What does that mean anyways? It sounds to me like the filibuster coin phrase of all time that allows the person being asked a question to throw the audience off-guard while they conjure up some bullsh*t answer (or no answer at all except the phrase “that’s a good question” + blahblahblah).
Are we all turning into politicians these days? Who do we think we’re fooling? I mean, it’s bad enough that we rip each other off in every other aspect of life…do we need to treat each other like children too? This phrase is ridiculous and I’m sick of it.
Next time someone asks a difficult question that you can’t answer, just be honest and say “I don’t know”.
