If you know what I mean...

Isn't it interesting how something said in one context can mean something else in another context? For example... "Darnit, one card short..." Means something totally different if you're in a card game or talking about somebody. :P If you know what I mean.

Doesn't have to be just "mental" case stuff. For instance, this one is from an interview with the actor who played Gilderoy Lockheart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: "Lockheart is one of those people of whom my mother would say, 'if you told him you went to the moon, then he's been there twice.'"
