i was about to say - A fancy way of saying you were about to drop a bomb on someo

A fancy way of saying you were about to drop a bomb on someone, but you held back because you're a nice person... most of the time.

I was about to say you look like a raccoon that got hit by a bus.

I was about to say your pants are on fire and you don't even know.

I was about to say your mom eats breakfast cereal for dinner.
