A pre-statement that allows for any possible offensive or derogatory remark you are about to declare. As long as the offensive remark has this pre-statement in front, it is assumed that the declarer is not to be held accountable for the repercussions of the statement to follow. If this is declared post-statement, the safety net is somewhat removed, the statement loses some girth, and the speaker can be held accountable to the spoken words.
Example 1 Pre-statement:
John: "No offense Betty, but you are the worst employee in this entire company and no one enjoys your presence. Also, I do not find you physically attractive and I think you are a bitch."
Steve: "Dude, how can you be so harsh!?"
Betty: "Don't be such a prude Steve, he said no offense first; it's cool bro."
Example 2 Post-statement:
Mike: "Wow Cindy, I cannot believe you slept with everyone on the 3rd floor, you are such a slut; no offense."
Cindy: "OMG."
Tim: "Mike - you're fired."
