No offense
don't be offended · hope you don't take this the wrong way
What's the situation?
Ever need to say something a little... direct, but want to make sure your friend doesn't secretly plot your demise? 😂 'No offense' is your polite shield! Use it before or after a potentially blunt comment to soften the blow and show you mean well. It's like saying, 'Hey, just being honest, don't hate me for it!'
