"With all due respect"... . . [I Listen To Aretha Franklin]

The person applying said respect... or not, as the case may be.

Aretha, apparently....

Well first you have to know how to spell it.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Then you have to find out what it means to me.

And then you gotta sock it to me.

Just a little bit tho'

The same scientists that predicted polar bears would be extinct by 2010.

It's just another formality; I'm pretty sure there's no actual respect involved.

😅

When this is said, it's usually a precursor to "I really disagree with you", with a subtext of "you're not that bright"

Analogous to the use of "no offense, but" when the offensive comment is seconds away.

All the more reason to stay away from jargon.

Jesus

Hello trippy. You're back.

👉😳👈

{@trippy] well respect level is not a god given right it is earned from other people

I said it to someone who took it as an insult....

...but then again, I think he knew my disgust for him

it's in a book - in the library
I saw it one time - NOBODY had ever checked it out

Respect is earned

Is this a reference to Aretha’s song, “Respect” ?
