i mean maybe

It simply means u dont know, or don't want to take the time to explain something. Commonly used when being told something you don't understand.

Billy: "Hey, Jim you know the capital of Nebraska right?"
Jim: "I mean maybe"
Billy: "Well what is it then?"
Jim: "I mean maybe"

Well, I don't know, I mean... Maybe if you bought him a gun...

Oh yeah! Look at that! That was a pretty quick 180! Pretty spry for an older gal! But what if you antagonized him into it? What if you antagonized him into doing the child murder, Megyn? Then what? Would you be liable then? Is it a hard-line on "buying him a gun?" Or would that apply too? I mean, I'm not a sycophant or anything but I think antagonizing the guy into doing the child murder is kind of "buying him a gun" adjacent, don't you think?

A shit-head "Well, I don't know, I mean... Maybe if you bought him a gun..."

Hym "What about antagonizing the child murder into doing the child murder? I don't know, I mean, maybe follow him around for years... Mirror the delusions of reference that are commonly associated with schizophrenia, except, deliberately... When he presses you on it you just double down and keep doing it... Is THAT equivalent, Megyn Kelly? Is that kind of like buying the guy a gun or is that not as bad? Are you liable then?"
