But...

I love the word 'but'. It is the word everyone uses to say what they really mean. Dr. Phil said when you use the word "but" it means forget everything I just said what I actually meant was....

Some of my favorite but phrases are:

• I don't want to be a nusance but,... translation, pay attention to me!!!
• I Know you don't want my opinion but,... translation, of course you want my opinion, I know everything
• I don't want to be a nag but,...translation, if you had just listened to me in the first place we wouldn't be having this conversation
• He's really nice but,...translation, I would rather spend my evening cleaning my bathtub drain than waste another minute with him

What's your favorite but phrase?
