442. What we mean is what we don't say (16)

We Say:  Actually I'm not altogether comfortable with what you're saying...

We Mean:  You're a disgusting, lying, ageist, racist, molesting, bullying, abusing, sexist son-of-a-bitch, but I'd be accused of discrimination if I said so.

What is says about us:  Restraint and understatement - that's the name of the game.  We're British after all.
