Not for me, Clive
Popularised by football co-commentator Andy Townsend, this is essentially an alternative way of saying “I don’t think so”.
The two main benefits are:
- it seemingly absolves you of any responsibility to say how you arrived at your decision
- it implies that whatever you’re judging is a load of nonsense that doesn't deserve further comment
Particularly useful when talking about a new-fangled, modern idea you can’t really get your head around.
