That’s usually what people mean when they say that sarcastically.
Somehow that never occurred to me.
Once told a boss “with all due respect, and I do mean all the respect you’re actually due in this moment, I won’t be doing that”
With all due respect, go fuck yourself
With all due respect, go $fsck yourself
The Summoning Ritual Is Successful.
If the caveat wasn’t intended, the word ‘due’ would be superfluous.
I’ve used it exactly once in my career.
Had a senior officer who was trying to get involved in my departmental business about a disciplinary issue . As the next highest ranking in the space, I said “Due respect Sir, I believe the Chief and the POs have the matter in hand, however, I did wish to ask your opinion on the new training schedule?”
Well played.
With all due respect, nothing gets past a mind as sharp as yours.
