IAM

An acronym for "It Ain’t Me"

1. Useful to quote or credit someone unknown. To indirectly ascribe (something) to an unknown source/origin, by explicitly disclaiming from self.

2. An apt replacement for “Anonymous” in some cases; not knowing the origin/source of something doesn’t mean it is of “Anonymous” origin.

3. Useful as a safe alternative when there is ambiguity about the source/origin.

4. To intentionally hide the origin/source due to concerns of privacy, safety etc.

5. Also to disclaim your own words (when a situation calls for).

E.g.

“Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.”
-IAM (William Bruce Cameron / Albert Einstein)

E.g. case of unknown origin

"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted."
—IAM

E.g. case of ambiguity of source

“Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.”
—IAM (William Bruce Cameron / Albert Einstein)

E.g. of circumstantially disclaiming.

“Fuck You. Don’t ever call me again”
-IAM

P.S. Its my anger
