"kind of" it's a common practice, everyone kind of knows it. Is the phrase" kind of" used to soften the assertion above?

it's an idiom, allowing for nuances between the answers "yes" and "no." For example: "Is Quora a good site?" "Kind of." (Implies: yes it's good but not as good as it could be, or: ... but I like other sites better) Or: "I kind of had a good time." (Not bad, but it could have been better.)
