“That being said” is an internet slang term used to transition from one idea or statement to another. It is often employed to acknowledge and briefly address a previous remark before introducing a contrasting or related point.
Examples:
1. I love dogs, that being said, I’m also allergic to them, so I can’t have one as a pet.
In this example, the phrase “that being said” is used to acknowledge the previous statement about loving dogs. However, it is then followed by the contrasting point about being allergic, indicating that despite the love for dogs, having one as a pet is not feasible.
2. I know it’s important to eat healthy and exercise regularly, that being said, I still enjoy treating myself to some guilty pleasure food every now and then.
Here, “that being said” helps transition from the acknowledgment of the importance of a healthy lifestyle to an admission that the person still indulges in guilty pleasure food occasionally, despite the awareness.
