well actually
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: well actuallies
form: um, actually
form: erm, actually
Etymology: From the cliché phrase Well, actually, used to belittle a coherent argument by implying it can be destroyed in a single sentence.
Senses: examples: text: The well-actually crowd wants as much as everyone else to participate in the conversation. They want to be loved. But instead of rolling with the punches and participating in a brainstorm of ideas and exploding humor, they contribute interruptions, facts and details that merely produce stop energy on an ongoing discussion. They turn the center of attention towards them. The well-actually crowd means well. They want to be loved, they just have not realized that they are undermining their own quest for friends.
ref: 2011 February 7, Miguel de Icaza, “Well, Actually”, in tirania.org:
text: A well-actually happens when someone says something that's almost - but not entirely - correct, and you say, "well, actually…" and then give a minor correction. This is especially annoying when the correction has no bearing on the actual conversation. This doesn't mean the Recurse Center isn't about truth-seeking or that we don't care about being precise. Almost all well-actually's in our experience are about grandstanding, not truth-seeking. (Thanks to Miguel de Icaza for originally coining the term "well-actually.")
