When asked a general question, people that start their response with the phrase “I mean…” just grates on my nerves. It seems like an acceptable “ummmm…”

Anyone else? No one’s asking for them to explain themselves at this point, no clarification yet, just:

“Is the color blue necessary in interior decoration?”

“I mean, blue can be used as an accent…”

(Oversimplified example).
