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

Tell me who determines the level or respect that is due? 🤔
The person applying said respect... or not, as the case may be.

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 [b][i]actual[/i][/b] respect involved.

😅
Trippy · F
@LucyFuhr Certainly nor far fetched idea. 🤔

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.

@Trippy I've lost some opportunities in past for which I'm not proud of. I didn't pay attention to few things and those cost me dearly. Part of me still carries the damage emotionally & mentally.

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

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

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