522. What we mean is what we don't say... (32)

We Say:  Free on Saturday?  Why how lovely!  Let me just check with (name of partner) and I'll get back to you.

We Mean:  Don't want to go.  Must think up a really good excuse.

What it says about us:  I'll have to see if I can get a better alternative.  I can't possibly go if it might mean I won't enjoy myself/feel comfortable/like the food...
