With all due respect

A term that is used to diffuse the impact of an insult. This has been used, albeit to poor effect, in parliament.
Paul Gogarty, a member of Ireland's Green Party, unloaded some fairly colourful language on Labour Party member Emmet Stagg during a debate using this term.

"With all due respect and in the most unparliamentary language, f**k you Deputy Stagg, f**k you, ". He then added, "I apologize now for my use of unparliamentary language."
