Political

Who it channels

Trump's all-purpose non-answer.

Where it comes from

Trump's reliable response when asked to commit to anything — a verbal shrug deployed at press conferences for years.

Why it lands

It is the sound of someone dodging a question while pretending to be above it. Use it to non-answer something trivial and you have made a tiny decision sound like a matter of state.

How to drop it

Asked whether you would like tea or coffee, you gaze into the middle distance: "We'll see what happens."
