“...William wondered why he always disliked people who said 'no offense meant.' Maybe it was because they found it easier to say 'no offense meant' than actually to refrain from giving offense.”

I mean no offense to people who like dynamic typing. However, dynamic typing itself may just deserve to be dissed. But I'm not sure. So tell me if I'm wrong.

I probably shouldn't have used the word bubble, sorry. See my response to klibertp for hopefully some justification.

I sometimes wonder what it means that there's a common, concise idiom for "I'm about to knowingly say something offensive, but if you're offended it's your fault".

These days, someone will be offended by pretty much anything. So just say what you want to say. No amount of pre-apologising well help you because getting offended was their real goal anyway.
