Famous Sayings

With all due respect…

This is a statement that allows us to be a bit dissenting and insubordinate in a good way for good reason without coming across that way.  It allows us to speak freely when we otherwise may have no other way to do so.

People in the military often use this as a way to get their word in that otherwise they may never have been able to…it would otherwise appear disrespectful.

So the qualifier “with all due respect” is used.  Reader’s digest recently labeled this as one of the 10 most irritating phrases in English but I disagree.  Again, this is an example of an “out” for saying something we otherwise might not be able to say – but for something that indeed needs to be said.
