The internet slang term “I Uh-” is used as a sarcastic and humorous way to interrupt oneself in a dialogue or train of thought. It implies that the speaker realizes they are about to say something unnecessary, unimportant, or irrelevant and decides to abruptly stop themselves before continuing.
Examples:
Example 1:
Person A: Guess what I did today? I went to the most amazing bakery in town! Their pastries are…
Person B: I Uh-… Nevermind, I’ll just stay curious forever then. Thanks.
Example 2:
Person A: Hey, have you heard the new album from that band I told you about?
Person B: Yeah, I Uh-… didn’t listen to it. Sorry, got caught up with other things.
In both examples, the term “I Uh-” is used to cut off the speaker before they continue with unnecessary or uninteresting information. It adds a humorous tone to the conversation by conveying a sense of self-awareness and acknowledging the speaker’s tendency to share less important details.
