I'm afraid

Why do we say this when we clearly aren't?

'I don't have any chips, I'm afraid!'

Don't be scared. They are only chips.

Any other expressions that are daft?

I’m afraid — used to express polite or formal apology or regret.

"I'm afraid I don't understand"

With the greatest of respect...... Before disrespecting you, your point of view etc.

We're British (well most of us) - we don't like being overtly rude!

"Polite notice"

I will judge, you don't need to tell me. If the notice says 'fuck off' then it's not polite, regardless of your preamble.

"Not gonna lie"

I bloody well hope not, does this mean everything else you say is, in fact a big fat fib?

I asked my dad for a new bike and he said, come back when your prick and touch your arse.

So eventually I did and then he said.. Now go fuck your self

Bless you, when somebody sneezes. Utterly pointless. Nobody is blessing anybody.

'To be fair', after saying something that's not in the least bit controversial.

Years ago I was told that Polite Notice signs are written that way because some people will read them as Police Notice and they'll carry more weight.

Makes some sort of sense I suppose.

Another is saying going anywhere nice when someone says I’m going on holiday, they wouldn’t be going if it wasn’t nice

In some circumstances, maybe. But not when it's on the back of a toilet door and is asking you not to put hand towels in the loo

I don't know, the police are clamping down on that sort of behaviour
