Maybe I'm being dense, but I'm gonna need a mansplanation for this one.

I think it’s a play on “well, actually blah blah blah fact maybe” rebuttals.

Hate when I catch myself "Well, actually"ing. I'll either try to reword it to not sound so dickish or I'll discard it if I think it's not actually helpful or interesting.

I think I've eliminated the "[well, ]actually" from my speech patterns (unless using it sparingly for comedic effect) due to the memes as well. Turns out the dumb internet image macros can have a positive impact after all.
