It's not that it annoys me, I just see it as totally pointless and therefore amusing.
It means "I think what you say is true" (that being what Ric said, "Secret of Mana Rules"). Or I guess literally it means "I think the words you used are true." But instead of sounding stupid and actually saying that, I just said Word. There is probably another way of saying what I meant without the slang and manage not to sound stiff, but sometimes I don't really want to think all too much; so a cliche of slang can be useful.

So it's intended to annoy me? Well why didn't you say so?
Perhaps it sounds as if I'm twisting my words around, but I used 'perhaps' purposely to mean that I didn't say Word to annoy you on purpose, but that perhaps it was a good effect anyway. Perhaps that will help, perhaps?
