Nope. it means that someone is trying to deny or muddle what they said previously.

@Lila Belle, thanks for the correction.

So tired of every experience being "surreal."

I don't think that a lot of these words/phrases should actually be 'banished'.  One that somebody mentioned was 'literally'.    Certainly some people use the word inappropriately, but it IS a legitimate word, when used properly.    I vote to keep it.

hi @chickenbutt   I was actually thinking of the show hosts who use "literally" every two seconds. For absolutely no reason at all, without making a whit of sense!

"This ring literally makes your fingers look long and slim."

Huh?

   I dread the use of "have a good one." I remember the day when people said, have a nice day! What does the word "one" specifically refer to??  A lackadaisical way of speaking. Ugh!

I agree with banishing "literally"!  I'm so tired of the hosts and vendors who can't speak a sentence without using that word at least once, that I don't even watch any more unless I am extremely interested in the product.

You can thank the dumbing down of America for that one.

I think a refresher course in English would be helpful. I could benefit from it.
