I 've often heart someone using the word "anyway" to stop a discussion or a argumentation. Does anyone know the exact meaning of this term in this context?

hello, elron8, I think your explanation is good, I think you can replace "nevermind" by "don't bother " (because it's not very important) Do you know the idiom "it knocks but once " ?
When anyway is used on its own at the end of a discussion, especially when people don't agree,it sort of means:"Think what you like but let me think what I like". I am not surprised you have often hearD it to put an end to an argument(=debate)
However is a synonym of still OR yet and is more often used at the beginning of a conversation. EX English is not easy. However/still/yet I love it. Be careful because still can also be used like this: -I still have problems with anyway. True? If you have,let me know.
