Did you know that "with all due respect" was an insult, originally? Used in the context of talking to someone who doesn't deserve any respect, in the opinion of the speaker, it subtly (or not) brought attention to that opinion (the implied amount due being zero), with a wink and a nudge (figuratively, at least).

I am sensitive (more likely "suspicious") toward people who throw around the phrase "with all due respect", as well as people who call other adults "sport."

Just briefing you on the slang. It's your choice as to what to do with it.

Really? The evidence suggests more than just information, ie, <<a bit sensitive, aren't you?>> And thanks for granting me the free choice.

I certainly will, although I rarely allow myself such caloric luxury (once a year I suppose.) But in this case, here, I brought you some, too.
