No Offense But...

There is a phrase that people use as a door mat.

"No offense But..."

The majority of the time, people use this phrase in order to say something offensive without being held accountable for it.

They don't even couch the offending comment(s) in nice language, which is a dead give-away to their true intent.
I mean, if they TRULY were concerned with sparing the feelings of the other person it would show in their language through out the exchange.

My kids even do this right before they berate one another...well they did. I mean I call them out on the carpet for this because the intent of the heart is what matters.

People need to be accountable for what they say.
