How can you possibly say "no offense" and then proceed to make fun of somebody? Simply using that phrase doesn't make it any more ok.

- twic 12y agoIf it weren't for the spelling, i would assume bvanslyke was a British English speaker. In British English, "no offence" means "I am going to offend you now". It's generally felt to be the decent thing to do to warn people, you see. http://www.bellenglish.com/EnglishBlog/2012-09-04/No-offence-but-phrase-of-the-week/ http://www.bellenglish.com/EnglishBlog/2012-09-04/No-offence...
