341. What we mean is what we don't say...(2)

We say:  With (great) respect...

We mean:  With no respect whatsoever, I know more than you.  Shut up and pay attention to what I'm about to say.

What it says about us:  We think we're inspiring respect by saying it, rather than just plain irritation...
