I can’t stand it when people pretend to be nice when they’re not. You can spot these people easily on the Internet because they soften caustic phrases with things like:

  • j/k (a lazy assed way of saying “I’m just kidding.”)
  • Don’t take this the wrong way but….
  • I mean that in the nicest way.

Fuck that. Just kidding? No you weren’t. “I’d love to fuck your sister. j/k” See. Deep down you don’t believe it either. Just kidding my ass.

Don’t take this the wrong way? Translation: “I mean it in the ‘wrong’ way, but I don’t want you to punch me in the face for it.”

Ditto for ‘I mean that in the nicest way’.

My dear, Bitter Readers, if you’re going to say something, at least own up to the fact that you mean it. You might get punched in the face for it, but if that’s a problem for you, maybe you should take more care what you say.
