    Believe what you want. The people who aren't trying to be an old, unfunny troll actually believe me, so yeah(and those who actually know me).

    I'm just kiddin', you know I love ya Derk.


    Luck's not a troll.

    I've met, seen, and unfortunately done worse. He's mediocre, and he can't do much due to this board's laws.

    So he's just a pest it seems, no offense.

    Anyway I have a major headache, stupid glare of my laptop.
    No problem. I'm more bothered by the fact that someone openly insults a person and says no offense. That's like if I walked up to someone I barely knew and said "I'll do your mouth! loljk!!!1111!!1!"

    It's just something I can't let go of.

    I love saying no offence D: But I only say it when I'm jokingly insulting people who I know (think) won't take any offence in the first place (People who I really don't intend to offend)
    CAN it even be said seriously? 0.0

    The funny thing about 'no offense' is 9 time out of 10 it is followed by a rather offensive remark. But because you said 'no offense' before it makes it fine... XDDD​

    It's the new way to say "to put it bluntly".

    In other words, you're about to (or just did) state facts and/or opinions that might have hurt, and it's like a warning label on a toy or something "May Cause Seizures" but of course nobody reads those and they all get seizures just like nobody listens to "no offense" and usually takes offense anyway.

    If you're actually serious, you usually say the aforementioned blunt line, "I don't mean to offend you, but..." or something of the kind.

    Oooh, semantics! I love those!

    Well most of the times I use "no offense" when theres a possibility of the person Im talking to to adhere to the opinion that Im criticizing. Like "no offense but facebook is a waste of time" (the underlying premise here is the person Im talking to has a facebook addiction).

    Otherwise if I am actually intending to constructively criticize a person, I usually follow speech patterns like "please do consider this sincere advice and not bashing on my part". This really helps the person buy what Im talking about, because Ive demonstrated my sincerity beforehand :)

    I have heard of the "No Offence" term before, and from my understanding it's primarily used when you're about to offend someone. For once I'd like to see someone use the term in a completely unrelated manner, like "No offence, but do you know what the time is?"
    It's similar to the terms "I don't mean to be racist, but..." or "No Homo". Although I've never had to use those lines, I would like to use them completely outside of their original context, let's say "for teh lulz". :P

    The last time said "no offense" to me, it was at work. I proceeded to say no stop before you say anything else don't say no offensive because you actually mean to offend or else you wouldn't be saying it in the first place. So if you think that your remark may not be offensive you would use that tag in the first place. Then she proceeded to get pissed, good times, good times.

    You should have said: "No offense but don't say no offense before you say anything to me. It's clearly a cop out."

    Mind bender, wat.
