"Checks notes" = kiểm tra ghi chú. Cụm từ này thường được sử dụng theo hướng hài hước hoặc mỉa mai, ý là người nghe nên xác minh, kiểm tra kỹ lại trước khi phát biểu.

Ví dụ
A pandemic (đại dịch) seems like a great time to *checks notes* weaken regulations (quy định) on toxic pollutants (chất ô nhiễm độc hại)?

Companies have until May 7th to return the funds (hoàn trả quỹ), or else *checks notes*, well no consequences (hậu quả) have been announced yet. The Treasury will get back to us on that one...

It probably wasn’t a huge surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention to Below Deck Sailing Yacht this season when Parker decided to resign (từ chức) from his position so that he wouldn’t be under intense scrutiny (kiểm tra gắt gao) to *checks notes*…do his job and not be disrespectful to his coworkers.

I wouldn't say I miss air travel, right now. But having the option to fly away from Blighty for a week-long birthday break next month really would be preferable (phù hợp hơn) over cancelling that trip to - checks notes - spend the time sitting inside my house, surrounded by my shrieking (la hét) children, instead.
