A Matter Of Expression

C: You know that saying, “that’s what they all say?”
Me: Yes.
C: Why does everyone use it? I mean, they don’t ALL say anything.

Me: I don’t know. Sometimes it can sound snarky.
C: What’s that mean?
Me: Well, sometimes people say that just to let the person they’re talking to know that they’re annoyed.
C: That’s what they all say.
