i hate the term, "no offense."

people use "no offense" to blunt the blow of a below the belt comment. for example (actual comments heard, may be exaggerated), "I just don't like those kids who get into medical school from college, in fact, i just hate them all, no offense." (it's called we thought ahead) or "sorry, your car just looked like something a $%@# would drive, no offense." etc etc OFFENSE TAKEN, jackass.

if you're going to be rude and impolite, just say it. better yet, keep your offensive mouth shut and don't say anything at all. you're a coward if you think "no offenses," "sorry but," "i'm not judging!" make you blameless. NO OFFENSE.
