Used in exasperation during an argument, with a notable impatience intended to slightly patronize the other party while furthering the speaker's other reasons.
Phrase used by persons who aren't really listening to you but wish to appear to be doing so. Usually used when on the telephone so neither of you is making eye contact.
You are telling a story and your friend, who hasn't responded the entire time, suddenly chimes in with "I understand that."

You Don't Think I Understand!?
(phrase used with extreme anger and distaste)a term used when you dont understand something but still make a dramatic effort to make it seem like you do, in fact, understand.
The most polite way to start a Canadian “fuck you”, using ‘I understand the confusion” can be used to start the most polite “fuck you” statement any person will hear in their entire life.
Me: “What colour do you all see?”
American: “Why did you spell ‘color’ with a u?”
Me: “I am sorry. I understand the confusion, but I live in Canada where we spend things correctly.”
