Ok, it's NOT new, but it's fricken EVERYWHERE now. You can't listen to a single sports interview without hearing that phrase at least once...
It seems to be code for, "I'm not really sure..." or "If I had a better vocabulary, I could give you a real answer"
Or how to use five words and still say absolutely nothing.
It would be even worse if they added my biggest peeve and made it seven words with no real meaning (which thankfully has become less common lately): ... and whatnot.
