I'm not racist, but...

That phrase makes me instantly want to punch the teeth out of whoever says it before they can even say the racist thing that's going to follow.

Is there any precursor to a sentence that makes you feel the same way?

Not quite as bad as 'I'm not a racist but..."

Mine are: 'Let me be clear....". "The fact is..."

"As I've said....". All often used by politicians when asked questions.

No words make me want to punch people's teeth out but if someone says "I'm proud to say I call a spade a spade" or "I speak the truth offend or please" I know it's going to be followed by completely uneccessary and potentially hurtful observations about my appearance, personality or personal possessions and they have truth and opinion confused.

Let me be clear on this point. The fact is, if someone says these things before they say something, they are desperate to assert whatever authority they have at the start because know they'd lose the argument otherwise

Not exactly a slapping offence but people who start a statement with "Basically,.." and then proceed to give a long form explanation of a thing.

The youth of today or claiming they’re snowflakes or woke etc…

Anyone decrying the younger generation. It was done to us when we were teenagers and I always wanted to ensure I didn’t do the same.

Younger generation than mine fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, student debt, housing ladder, gig economy, online bullying etc..

All shit I didn’t have to go through (my stint in the Army worst posting was Northern Ireland)

So anyone slagging off the young.

Also, after any particularly virulent and offensive remark, ‘I’m just having a laugh, it’s not my fault you can’t take a joke’ as said by every narcissistic, abusive bully the world over. Sadly, I see that type of comment in the forum far too often, especially aimed at women standing up for themselves.

‘No offence, but....’ followed by something intentionally offensive.

People who say ‘right’ or ‘like’ after every sentence also irritate me.

And ‘shall I be honest?’... who has ever replied with ‘no, please lie to me’?! Other than Judge Rinder.

So true. Though I also hate "just my opinion" used as though it's a cover to say anything they like, no matter how unpleasant, rude or disrespectful. Especially when they then get upset about people having different opinions .

“I’m not racist but ...” is hard to beat.

“No offence, but ...” is an attempt for the speaker to clear themselves of any charges of causing offence, before saying something that they clearly know is offensive.

“I’m not being funnaaayyyyy” is closely related.

And one that usually deserves a kick in the balls is “it’s only bantah”, again, someone exonerating themselves for saying something they know is offensive

“My truth” is often used when someone knows they are talking shit and that their version of events doesn’t tally with anyone else’s. But they want to portray it as the truth, so lob it in as “my truth”.

I've never even thought about this. I have friends with PTSD from Afghanistan after watching their friends die but we always get mocked as "pathetic millenials" who don't know we're born compared to previous generations along with some sort of reference about war. The references always seem to be about WW2 as well which is odd as the only people old enough to have fought in that are in their 90s.

Guys I served with ended up in Bosnia and saw some really bad stuff. I know a few who ended up having issues with their mental health afterwards. One guy I served with killed himself, no note but I know Bosnia had an affect on him, after meeting him at reunion once.

Northern Ireland you’d hear about someone getting killed or injured. But it very rarely happened to someone you knew or in your regiment. But I doubt any younger squaddie leaves the Army without losing one mate to injury or death.

Younger men and women are having it just as tough as my generation, just in different ways. Very few are ‘woke’ or ‘snowflakes’, in my opinion.

Talking about fruit.

The fruit bowl is a good reflection of people. Some are sour. Some sweet. Lots of different colours shapes and sizes yet all fruit.

So I guess you get sour and sweet ones in all colours.

Onfield sledging is not the problem. The Yorkshire stuff for example is all about what was being said around the club on a normal day.

Onfield sledging can be quite funny.

I once had a neighbour who would say that whenever we did anything he didn't like.

If our dog barked after 7 pm he would send a text asking to keep her quiet then they would go to bed between 10 and midnight and slam their windows hut, waking us up. We confronted them with this and they never spoke to us again. On the plus side we never had any stupid complaints again. Never liked them anyway.

As you guys know you get racists from all backgrounds and only a fool will deny that.

If its not your colour, its your religion - etc

I'm not perfect nowhere close but over the many years of working with the public - I have learned a lot but a lot more to learn

Thankfully my parents were very open minded and we were taught to respect elders/olice/teachers and nice to all - it did help otherwsie some of the jokers that used to meet in the pub, I could have easily ended up in trouble

It takes a life time to build trust and respect but its all lost in a nano second

Hilarious and delusional all together.

"The youth of today or claiming they’re snowflakes or woke etc…

Anyone decrying the younger generation. It was done to us when we were teenagers and I always wanted to ensure I didn’t do the same.

Younger generation than mine fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, student debt, housing ladder, gig economy, online bullying etc..

All shit I didn’t have to go through (my stint in the Army worst posting was Northern Ireland)

So anyone slagging off the young. "

That and the “who remembers’ posts

Do you remember eating lard and coal 100 years ago? Yes it was shit , thank fuck for Costa and Subway and young people with better tastes in food

"That phrase makes me instantly want to punch the teeth out of whoever says it before they can even say the racist thing that's going to follow.

Is there any precursor to a sentence that makes you feel the same way?

I'm not (insert any word) but, Is usually followed by a comment that confirms they are what they are claiming not to be.

Good template, that. Covers most situations

The only exception I can think of is people who say “I’m not being funny”, and sure enough, they are not remotely funny.

I once had a neighbour who would say that whenever we did anything he didn't like.

If our dog barked after 7 pm he would send a text asking to keep her quiet then they would go to bed between 10 and midnight and slam their windows hut, waking us up. We confronted them with this and they never spoke to us again. On the plus side we never had any stupid complaints again. Never liked them anyway."

Perfect example of the English version of passive aggression,

80/20 Spend 80% time listening and 20% responding, to ensure you fully understand context.

People are clumsy in communicating sometimes and may use language that's potentially offensive, but surely context is more important?

Oh...my pet annoyance? "They're all corrupt"

Exactly. Some generations just refuse to accept that times might actually be hard for younger generations, but all they see are instagram influencers and avocado toast and assume everyone is taking the piss. They expect everything to be exactly the same as it was for them in their formative years and refuse to change with the times. I can't fucking stand people with that kind of attitude

One that really annoys me is a colleague always uses the term "The gays" as if they are a pop group or something, but then he also believes that Trump was robbed and global warming is a lie.

My in laws talk a great game over a cup of tea, about how they would punch people, hit them with a hammer, kill them etc., praising their self-discipline for not having done so ... “if I’d gone over there I would have killed him” etc etc.

... but then they absolutely shit themselves if anyone so much as says boo to them.

Generalising about entire generations just isn’t right. Saying that all young people are this, that or the other simply doesn’t work.

But in your effort to defend you people, you open with “some generations just refuse to accept ...”

So it’s not ok to lump going people into a single bracket and pain them all with the same brush, but it’s ok to do so with other generations?

A bit of balance would be good. Perhaps “some people” rather than “some generations”?

I cannot stand the word 'basically' when used whilst explaining something.

Basically, you are saying I'm basically an idiot who needs things explained really basically.

True, "some members of some generations" is more accurate
