bear in mind

Officially means: "To remember, think about, or consider someone or something (in regard to something else)"
However, it is often used in conjunction with the phrase: "Thank you, I'll bear that in mind" to express that actually you won't do that and it is a way to avoid exploding towards a remark someone has made.
Sally: "Just for future reference don't use the term 'man' as it is offensive
Steve: "Thank you, I'll bear in mind."
