‘Hm. The jury’s still out on Conrad. He’s a nice guy but that’s very much Sam’s suggestion. I’m sceptical. I think he might be here for a good time not a long time, if you know what I mean.’
This sentence is someone expressing doubt about a guy named Conrad, especially regarding his intentions or seriousness in some situation—possibly a relationship or group activity.
Here’s a breakdown:
"Hm. The jury’s still out on Conrad."
This means the speaker hasn't made up their mind about him yet. They’re still uncertain, still evaluating.
"He’s a nice guy but that’s very much Sam’s suggestion."
They acknowledge Conrad seems nice, but point out that his presence (maybe in the group or on a trip) was Sam’s idea—not necessarily their own or the group’s.
"I’m sceptical."
The speaker has doubts. They're not fully convinced Conrad’s a good fit or trustworthy.
"I think he might be here for a good time not a long time, if you know what I mean."
This is a common phrase implying that someone is just looking for fun or short-term enjoyment, not serious commitment. It often refers to romantic or social contexts. So, the speaker suspects Conrad isn’t taking things seriously and might disappear soon.
Overall meaning:
The speaker is politely throwing shade at Conrad—saying he might seem nice, but they think he’s not in it for the long haul. Whether it’s a relationship, trip, or some other commitment, they’re not convinced he’s really serious.
