    Inspired by a Discord convo.

    There's always the classic

    "Per my last email...."

    "With all due respect..."

    What y'all got?

    As I said on the Discord, the politest way to call someone trash is just

    "I don't think that's advisable."

    Just repeat it in every context.

    "As I mentioned previously..."

    "Have you considered..."

    "That doesn't appear to be correct..."

    I've always liked the good old standby of "Fuck you, no that's stupid."

    For academics:

    "That's tautological."

    (Especially if it is, but even if it's not, they hate that.)

    "ur the big poopoo"

    My favorite way to use this is, "I'm not entirely certain that's correct. Would you please consider stopping being the big poopoo?"

    I may have misunderstood the title, initially.

    I'm a fan of "I'm not sure you fully understand what I'm suggesting."

    For patients, "Of course it's absolutely your choice and right to do so, if you wish, I just need to check your understanding of [blank], and sign here, please."

    "While that is possible, I'm not sure I can advise that in good faith."

    "Don't worry; everyone has moments like this at times."

    For the office context:

    "Well, if it explodes, don't say I didn't warn you."

    For the Americans in the room, the phrase is "stop resisting."

    I think ours is more direct.
