437. What we mean is what we don't say (15)

What we sayI'm puzzled as to why you said that...

What we mean:  I'm not puzzled, I'm astonished at your rudeness, but at least one of us has to be civilised...

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