...Or So I Heard	comment	A trope wherein a character delivers some advice or information relating to a field which it would be incredibly embarrassing or contrary to their public image to know. For instance, Mannfred M. Manly informs you on the plot of the latest My Little Pony episode, or Miss Chastity McInnocence blurts out directions for Amsterdam's red light district. Whatever the subject and whomever the person, they then try to cover up their association with it by appending "Or So I Heard", "or so I've been told", "I read it in an article", etc. Please do not pothole links to here where they don't belong. Related to Suspiciously Specific Denial, It's for a Book, Shameful Source of Knowledge, and I Have This Friend. Similar to Knows a Guy Who Knows a Guy in cases where the character wants to downplay his association with the "guy" in question. Compare …But He Sounds Handsome and Verbal Backspace.

...Or So I Heard / int_b7f8a84e	comment	One character on Little Britain is a retired actor who always steals his sister's Meals on Wheels dinners. He is very bad at hiding it, as he tends to praise the meals to the delivery boy's face, adding "Kitty said," when he realises he's almost given himself away.

The Doctor mumbles that even if he did, he couldn't go back along someone's personal timeline — "apparently".

Ash gives her a look and Misty (a bit embarrassed) says she read it in National Poké-Geographic magazine.

...Or So I Heard / int_eb6802b4	comment	Early in Final Fantasy XIII, Sazh explains bitterly that a l'Cie's Focus comes in a brief, hazy vision rather than as clear instructions. When Lightning and Snow stare at him, he throws his arms in the air and says "that's what they say, you know, legends and all." He knows because his son was turned into a l'Cie and has been under the study/care of government officials since... something he's not keen to divulge at this point since the party's Focus would necessarily be opposed to it.
