Per Se

[psijac]

I lot of people use the word phrase Per Se, what does it mean. It just feels like a nice bookend for a sentence were you mean to say IANAL I must admit it is fun to say. What if we are using it incorrectly like the word Ironic. Wow that would be really Ironic

Covers it all here

I find I use it in conversation much more than the written word...

[Cobra Medic]

It's a Latin phrase meaning "by itself" so using the phrase is not ironic per se, but may be under some circumstances.
