I encountered this phrase in a novel I’m reading, and I think I’ve heard it before. What does it mean?
Answer
That’s as may be means that what the speaker says may be true, but it doesn’t change your argument or opinion as it is not strictly relevant, or other facts need to be taken into consideration; I can’t find any reference for it online but a phrase with a similar meaning is be that as it may.
