No offense, but... Ha.

[Painasbread]

Every time I start my argumentation with "No offense", I feel like I'll come off as being an asshole...

What about yous?

 

[DavidianMillerian]

I chose "Disinterest" because I don't care about any argument

 

[NotGary]

it's the same as "I don't wanna be political/controversial but"

it's just someone being full of themselves and an asshole whenever I see it.

Remember: Starting a sentence with 'No offense...' does not actually make anything following less offensive.

Also, 'offended' should be a choice in the poll, because that's my usual reaction in this case.

-What does it evoke in you?
-Offended 🗿

You're making sense here though, I simply don't know what word to put in for "offended"
I guess the closest one is anger right now?

gonna start my offensive statements with: "WARNING: THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT MAY OR MAY NOT BE EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE TOWARDS A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE, PROCEED WITH CAUTION" from now on

(it's funny because this also doesn't make anything following it less offensive)

By itself, it shouldn't be annoying, but I guess it's been used by annoying people who were trying to avoid the consequences of their words so much that it's become annoying by association.
I wouldn't say it angers or offends me though.

I think the form of the word here would be 'offense' (it evokes offense? That sounds right).

Edit - 'eyerolling'? It kind of does that too.

Pretty much this. 90% of the time the effect is basically 'no offense, but you suck and your mother dresses you funny.'

I tried to include eyerolling: but the smiley doesn't show if the poll is only edited

Thanks for trying!

"No offence but..." belongs to the "I'm not racist but..." arsenal and it's the anticipation to some kind of ad hominem. People like to use the "but" to contradict themselves for some reason.

"No offense... " then "I will erase your existence because you're a heretic scum." Always partner up in posts.

The sarcastic also loves using these statements to irk peeps.
