My take:But very often shows concern. I am going to jump off the Golden Gate bridge. But, what about the ones you leave behind. A case of the "glass half full".
.PS: How soon will the anus references appear? Yes, I am the but person or anus if you like. Dam,that was quick.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

I don't mean to interrupt, but... (I now interrupt)
I don't mean to sound snarky, but... (I now say something super snarky)
I don't mean to complain, but... (I now totally complain)
I'm still trying to come up with a fancy name for this phraseology.

My daughter is forbidden from using that construction. It seems very popular among 11 year old girls. "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but .."

Limited research has examined the effects of using disclaimers on person perception, and none has examined disclaimer effectiveness. Four studies test whether disclaimers effectively ward off negative judgments regarding the specific disclaimed traits. Study 1 finds that using an arrogance disclaimer ("I don't mean to sound arrogant, but . . .") increased judgments of the speaker's arrogance but only when followed by an arrogant comment. Studies 2 and 3 yield similar findings using laziness and selfishness disclaimers. Studies 2, 3, and 4 examine five possible underlying mechanisms regarding why disclaimers can backfire. The most support was obtained for the notion that disclaimers increase an audience's expectations that the speaker will say something consistent with the unwanted trait, which then increases perceptions of that trait in the speaker. We discuss some possible moderating variables as well as some implications of these findings for general impression formation models.

I am also a (Bay to Breakers) butt-er. But I will spare you the photographic proof.
