This is a total southern thing....If someone says that, you know they are "politely" proclaiming - oh you stupid person, too dumb to get out of your own way.
Or there is, "No offense, but...." You know they mean to offend, or else they wouldn't use this "disclaimer".
Dr Phil (not a super big fan) said once, if people make statements saying one thing and them immediately use the words "however" or "but" or some for thereof, you can basically ignore everything that came before the "word" because it's the second half of the statement that the REALLY mean.
