When someone says “With all due respect…”, they’ll inevitably follow it with an insult. In that case, the person is therefore also implying that the recipient is due NO respect since they’re insulting them. Boom, double-roast. Maybe obvious, but apparently not to me… with all due respect to me.

    With all due respect, I feel as if there wasn’t another insult in the statement, then “with all due respect” was no longer an insult, making the entire statement insult-free. Of course, I could be wrong.
