I think it is my favorite phrase; the classic non-apology apology. It's the famous:
"Sorry if I offended anyone."
Because if I didn't offend some of you, then, hell, I actually meant that shit.
I don't need to cite examples because it's become a dime a dozen. We've all heard it and most of us have reacted the same way from time to time..."boy, that wasn't much a an apology." It's designed to tell those in the club that "I really meant it" but I'm saving my ass by offering a pseudo-apology. Hey, if I offended you (and only then), then (and only then) am I sorry (only if I offended you) *Wink-wink* my boyz know what I meant.
So, drop dead and go to hell - and gee, I'm really sorry if (and only if) I offended anyone.
