I've decided that I do not like the phrase "fair enough."
Do people say it when they don't know how to reply to what you just said? Or, is "fair enough" like a euphemism for saying "I'm disappointed but I am going to say 'fair enough' because it sounds better?" Is it just a way to say "point taken," or "I understand?"
Example: A man wants to meet up with a woman for drinks, but she is cold and is already at home after a long day and about to settle down with a book. The man's reply to this is "fair enough."
What are your thoughts on 'fair enough,' and are you a fan of this phrase? If you do say it often, in what context?
