What does "fair enough" mean?
I don’t know if people even know what this means when they say it.
To me, it’s someone saying “I disagree, but I’m too lazy to tell you why or argue with you.”
What does it mean to you?

It means that you have come to a close enough understanding for things to be fair in their eyes. It may not be exactly what they want but its close enough and it would maybe be unfair and possibly selfish at times to argue it further. but it really depends on the situation.
I think that “fair enough” is a concession. Two people disagree; one person makes a valid and convincing argument; the second person concedes the point. There’s enough agreement for the outcome to be accepted by both sides.
If they disagree with me they get a pie in the face and that I consider fair enough!
English is not my native language, but when i use “fair enough” it means that i agree with someone’s viewpoint/opinion/answer after i found out that mine was ‘wrong’.
Like: “Ah, yeah, now i see what you mean/now i get it.”
Taken purely at face value it’s an expression of agreement, compliance.Of course some instances can be meant with a heavy dose of sarcasm similar to “whatever” or indeed “blow me” The duality of meanings, don’t you just love it.
Yes, it varies depending on context, but I feel like people can also mean different things in the same context.. it means something different to everyone. It bothers me because I don’t know if the person disagrees or is making fun of me, or what…
This saying means the following: an agreement deal between two people.
Also, applies to punishment. example: brother sister both broke a lamp. their punishment was equal or “fair enough”.
It means, “I’m exhausted and don’t give a damn anymore, leave me alone now.”
For me, it means “Okey doke, you’re right”. No double meanings, no mocking; just, “I concede”.
It means “I agree but I’m still not completely convinced in my gut.”
