whatever you say
I'll go along
Whatever you say is a phrase of acquiescence that often signals the opposite of agreement.
On the surface it means "I'll go along with that," but the tone usually conveys resignation, skepticism, or passive dismissal: You think you can finish by Friday? Whatever you say.
It can end an argument without conceding the point—a verbal shrug that says "I'm done fighting but I'm not convinced."
