the same phrase conveys two different meanings and currently has become one of the popular ones. I remember, while in pilani, some words would just become the 'words of the season', we had something called as bitsian lingo and most of the words created were derivatives of existing words in the English dictionary, few interesting ones were like - 'lite-le'(simply ignore it), 'gen-mein'(just for the sake of), 'obb'(very much obvious), 'only THE'(exaggeration about anything), 'hipalna'(laughing hard without a reason), etc, etc.
Coming back to the phrase that i started off with, i get perplexed when people use it. One which means that that is the maximum that one could agree about a particular topic with the other person. The second which means that he/she cannot hear the reasons for any longer. I will report 2 incidents with the phrase.
Incident 1:
A - my GF is such an angel
B - i know
A - she is so surprising
B - i know
A - she is so witty, such a great cook..blah blah blah
B- i cannot agree any more
:)
Incident 2:
In a meeting,
the VP says "we have achieved 100% volume growth this year, our core business has grown by 70%, the acquisition was more successful than what could have thought by anybody, that is what the data presents to me. Isn't that amazing?"
the Manager replies "I can't agree any more".
