Itâs âproperâ usage is preface for a statement whose interpretation is ambiguous or easily misunderstood as disrespect, not as a âyouâre not allowed to be offendedâ preface for statements intended to be disrespectful.
What I was saying is that the latter use case is overwhelmingly the more common one.
My point exactly. Some people, Musk being amongst them for sure, are due zero respect. As such, using the phrase without showing or indeed having any respect is proper and correct use.
Well, its ACTUAL intended use (and the most common one) is to say basically âIâm going to criticise you, but it doesnât mean that I donât respect you as much as you deserveâ.
In some cases, including Musk, the amount of respect deserved is none and as such you can use the term correctly without respecting the person youâre addressing at all.
What it âACTUALâ says is âno disrespectâ not âno unintended disrespect beyond the disrespect you deserveâ - the intended use case is clarifying statements that are ambiguous or could read as disrespect, but are intended respectfully.
I do not agree that itâs âintendedâ as a window-dressing disclaimer for open disrespect. Even if you personally feel that the target deserves no respect - just have the balls to disrespect them openly and without dancing about the matter.
The word use is very clear: âwith all due respectâ means âwith all the respect that is dueâ. If you want to express respect whether itâs due or not, you say ârespectfullyâ. Youâre the one whoâs trying to enforced your personal definition over the logical ACTUAL one.
Btw, I do not dance around anything myself. When using the expression towards someone whoâs NOT worthy of any respect, I say âwith all due respect, which is noneâ.
The only circumstance it gets used, seems like.
Iâve never heard it followed by something that actually was respect.
Because you donât need to clarify that you are provide all due respect otherwise.
âWith all due respect, those are nice shoes.â
âWith all due respect, Iâll have the waffles.â
âWith all due respect, I think there are a few more jellybeans in there.â
It just isnât necessary in these and other common situations.

Yup, something like âwith all due respect, I donât think youâre seeing this clearly right now. You should eat a Snickers.â
Not âwith all due respect, youâre decision-making skills rival a toddlerâs, but without the low stakes and amusement.â
But what if that is the correct amount of respect which is due? đ€
