I went to a baby shower

Xaikayla 2004-02-09 19:20:22 ET Why is it that when saying the most horrible things about people, simply adding the phrase "bless their heart" to the end, makes it all better? *Accual Quote* "He is the ugliest guy I have seen in a while, bless his heart."

TheKilted 2004-02-09 19:46:14 ET Um.....cause it's kinda a statement saying if his heart wasn't so great that the ugliness would jump right out and eat people? "Bless their heart"...I thought only hardcore Christians and Uptight mothers said that stuff.

analog sky 2004-02-09 19:48:39 ET was that said about the baby? j/k I apologize right now :P

Furax 2004-02-09 19:52:17 ET wtf? that's like saying "...but i mean that in the nicest way possible" or "...but i was only kidding"

Xaikayla 2004-02-09 19:56:19 ET The lady who said it was an accountant. They were talking about some the CFO who had just left the company. It brought to mind that I have accually heard alot of people say things like that lately and I find it amusing and disturbing

analog sky 2004-02-09 19:56:32 ET It just seems like a way to pad the truth :/

Furax 2004-02-09 19:58:34 ET holy crap! you're one ugly sonofabitch! hahaha ... just kidding. you are an ass though... but i mean that in the nicest way! retard, bless your little heart. yeah...

Xaikayla 2004-02-09 19:59:32 ET Why must we pad truth? Truth is a useful weapon. If we make it blunt, we put the person in a coma, not out of their misery.

Furax 2004-02-09 20:01:19 ET i think it's just rude/sarcastic to pad things with those tag on phrases...

Xaikayla 2004-02-09 20:02:26 ET *nods*

analog sky 2004-02-09 20:03:39 ET I'll agree to that. people probably shouldn't say something serious that they'd have to pad.

Warped Savant 2004-02-09 20:07:46 ET I always add on "But I mean that in the nicest way possible." I think that makes it all better.
