minus-squarechicken@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up17arrow-down1·1 年前 a polite remark, usually made by people when they first meet to show they are friendly Aside from friendly intent I’d say it’s close enough
minus-squareRhoeri@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 年前Yeah. Kinda falls in a grey area of colloquialism. I wouldn’t say it comes off as friendly on its own. It’s more… neutral? Either way…. Didn’t mean to split hairs.
minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 年前You haven’t been in a situation with no time for pleasantries then. I agree as a polite excuse it qualifies. As a statement of fact you should sit down, shut up, and see what you can do to help.
