- That what you said to them as a good thing they think is actually bad they don't actually mean it's interesting or they don't actually mean it's interesting like okay well that's fascinating that you would do that that's kind of the tone that it kind of implies now once again in a lot of contexts it's fine especially if it's like something interesting you're calling like science interesting or you're calling something academic interesting that's completely different than just replying to someone's achievement and just being like interesting okay cool well that's offensive or if you say tell someone an idea or they tell you an idea and the response is interesting like I say hey dude we could totally I had this great idea for a business plan and you're like hmm interesting yeah no you're not hyped about it you don't really like that idea that's not what that that's not how that sounds it sounds like you're you're you're you're demeaning the idea you don't really care you don't think it's a good idea interesting okay you just think it's bad anyways enough of that one number eight is I'll keep that in mind now this one's not inherently like horribly rude it's not one of those things where it's like it's once again now nowhere in the category of no offense but but it is one of those things where like you could say I'll keep that in mind but nine times out of ten what people mean by that is that they're ignoring it so you could give them a great idea you could give them a great concept and they say I'll keep that in mind it's kind of like a unpolite polite way of saying I'm ignoring it now to some extent it's some people would argue it's more polite than saying I'm just going to ignore that no I don't like that but I'm an upfront person and a lot of people are upfront people and they just want you to be fun with them no I don't think that's a good idea we'll see I'll consider it but I don't really think I'm going to use that idea cool that's a great way to say it super polite super straightforward you're not wasting their time but being like I'll keep that in mind I'll keep that in mind it's kind of considered passive aggressive polite so some people would consider it polite it was probably used to be polite but nowadays it does come off like you're just throwing their idea to the side and you don't care but you don't want to say it to their face and a lot of times being polite is about uh being disrespectful is I find is having an honesty okay opinion about something but not wanting to be straightforward about to someone so you beat around the bush and pretend that's disrespecting them you know tell them to your face that's what you think don't.
「Bless your heart」這個說法，根據我的理解和經驗，基本上就是一個偽裝成友善的侮辱，如果這樣說比較好理解的話。
- That what you said to them as a good thing they think is actually bad they don't actually mean it's interesting or they don't actually mean it's interesting like okay well that's fascinating that you would do that that's kind of the tone that it kind of implies now once again in a lot of contexts it's fine especially if it's like something interesting you're calling like science interesting or you're calling something academic interesting that's completely different than just replying to someone's achievement and just being interesting okay cool well that's offensive or if you say tell someone an idea or they tell you an idea and the response is interesting like I say hey dude we could totally I had this great idea for a business plan and you're like hmm interesting yeah no you're not hyped about it you don't really like that idea that's not what that that does not how that sounds it sounds like you're you're you're you're demeaning the idea you don't really care you don't think it's a good idea interesting okay you just think it's bad anyways enough of that one number eight is I'll keep that in mind now this one's not inherently like horribly rude it's not one of those things where it's like it's once again now nowhere in the category of no offense but but it is one of those things where like you could say I'll keep that in mind but nine times out of ten what people mean by that is that they're ignoring it so you could give them a great idea you could give them a great concept and they say I'll keep that in mind it's kind of like a unpolite polite way of saying I'm ignoring it now to some extent it's some people would argue it's more polite than saying I'm just going to ignore that no I don't like that but I'm an upfront person and a lot of people are upfront people and they just want you to be fun with them no I don't think that's a good idea we'll see I'll consider it but I don't really think I'm going to use that idea cool that's a great way to say it super polite super straightforward you're not wasting their time but being like I'll keep that in mind I'll keep that in mind it's kind of considered passive aggressive polite so some people would consider it polite it was probably used to be polite but nowadays it does come off like you're just throwing their idea to the side and you don't care but you don't want to say it to their face and a lot of times being polite is about uh being disrespectful is I find is having an honesty okay opinion about something but not wanting to be straightforward about to someone so you beat around the bush and pretend that's disrespecting them you know tell them to your face that's what you think don't fucking lead them on that's ridiculous that's how I feel a lot of disrespect stems from and that's why I think a lot of these phrases you know basically um adapted from they are phrases that ended up being you know people basically trying to diminish that they're they're basically people trying to sugarcoat non sugarcoatable phrases that's what I essentially think that means it's not the worst thing you could say but once again normally better to just be straightforward number nine you look tired okay this one's not like this is just straight up I feel like almost self-explanatory right so like you you it kind of sounds like it'd be polite or respectful like or or like sympathetic like for example if someone looks off or someone looks ragged tired whatever to say you look tired oh you maybe you should get some sleep it's not really polite it just really isn't it's basically offensive especially since a lot of the time they may not actually be tired and they might have just have an off day they forgot makeup someone like that saying you look tired makes them feel okay well I look a mess now I'm not tired why do I look tired glad to know that it's showing or even if they are tired it's like well glad to know that it's showing it's just not polite to mention you know you can be sympathetic otherwise it's not really something you want to say you look tired is generally disrespectful it's not something people want to hear right they don't want to hear their flaws right it's like if you are tired you know you you just you don't want people to know you know you don't want people to know and if and if you want them to know you're going to tell them you're not going to you don't want them to be like hey you look tired so you look tired generally not polite either this one's not the end of the world but still would avoid it if you're trying to be polite and then number ten must be nice must be nice is in the same fucking category as no offense but the same fucking category what you're basically saying is oh oh you have something nice I want it well I guess it's good for you that you have it but I don't have it so why would I be happy about you you know no no not necessarily in that exact definition but that's basically the tone of which it's set in must be nice uh I just bought a new car dude it's sick must be nice okay well I don't care that you bought a new car I don't have a new car so why would I be happy for you that's how it comes across it's in the same category the same category must be nice okay cool now I feel like shit now I definitely wish I didn't tell you what I just told you must be nice that's one that I would definitely avoid if you're trying to be polite it comes off the complete opposite way and it is really only used to be disrespectful or to be impolite.
如果你說了什麼好話，但對方覺得其實是壞話，他們並不是真的覺得「有趣」，而是覺得「喔，你這樣做還真有意思」，這就是它暗示的語氣。
