hello, my lovelies! I found this from a song:

> 嘘つくのは得意なんだ
>
> でも、本音は少し苦手 **でさ**
>
> おかしいね、いつだって
>
> 本当の話が一番嘘臭いんだよ

I'm going to guess that it's a masculine or slang form of である with the さ
particle attached for emphasis (the singer is male). Just to be sure there are
no other misunderstandings getting in the way though, here is my rough
translation:

> Telling lies is my forte
>
> But I'm kind of bad at (telling) the truth
>
> Funny, right?
>
> How my true tales are always the biggest stinking lies

So, I'm basically assuming that でさ here is just a slang way to say だ or です,
but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Many thanks!

question
particles slang
Sentence ending in ～でさ
で is a conjunctive (or adverbial) form of copula (だ or である) and さ is a filler.
(Since this さ follows a conjunctive form, it's not a sentence ending
particle.) It's not particularly either masculine or feminine. The verb being
the conjunctive form means that the sentence doesn't end there.
