oh sure

Feigned belief, sarcastically

Oh sure is a response that sounds like agreement but usually signals skepticism or disbelief.

The drawn-out delivery and flat tone transform literal assent into its opposite: Oh sure, you were "just friends." It can also acknowledge something obvious or already known: "Did you hear they broke up?" "Oh sure, everyone knew that was coming."
