I always thought they were saying "PS and by the way". Maybe I need to have my ears checked!!!!

@Krimpette you’ve got the saying right.
“PS, and by the way...” has been around for years and years. It doesn’t bother me.

Yup, it’s PS and by the way. Don’t know where the op got her saying from.

@Jinlei - Just in case you're confused by the phrase itself, it's simply a roundabout way of saying "and there's more"—literally, a post script (PS) to what was being said plus a side note ("by the way"). It is redundant and unnecessary and is rightly classified as slang, but as others have noted, it has been pretty pervasive in the English language over the past couple of decades.

I never heard the term so thanks for the explanation.
It sounds like middle aged people trying too hard to be cool.
