Oh dear! They've got me down to a T

My favourite is definitely "with the greatest respect". I definitely usually mean it as "you are talking sh*t"

As a teacher, I would sometimes resort to using 'poetic licence' when writing reports. e.g. "Jimmy is a lively member of the class" actually meant "Jimmy won't sit still and keep quiet."

In my defence though ......... I was straight to the point when speaking to "Jimmy's" parents about his behaviour at Parents' Evening.

And, I used the phrase "with the greatest respect" last night when someone was speaking utter bull.

Aaah memories. We used to call it management speak, they could to talk more than you could wave a big stick at!

It won't show my smiley, its a bull having a poo!
