Does "ackshually" not mean "I know I'm being picky/pedantic/needy/wooooshed here, but technically it's..."?

You're viewing a single thread.
Spelling it that way implies you are pushing up your imaginary glasses as you say it in the nerdiest voice you can muster.
Or pretentiously/condescendingly/dismissively
I would say, the "real" "actually" is more of that.
The "ackshually" is more knowning that people can be like that and being a bit sarcastic about it.
As in "actually, X, but only someone really sweaty and pedantic would make that point earnestly, which I'm not".
I actually love when I get the chance to use it, sometimes I get a little too cheeky with it but I try tp really save it for the extraordinarily deserving counterpoint haha
