I can't stand it when someone says "to be honest with you."

Please don't dent the planet.

It means they are getting ready to lie to you.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

I thought it meant they've been lying to you and now want to tell you the truth, but I like your take on it too.

I always took it to mean they hadn't been honest with you before and they're probably, fixin' to tell you a whopper!

To be honest with you, I never noticed!

It means that they know that what they are about to say is not what you want to hear but if you don't stop them after they say "to be honest with you" they are going to go ahead and say it anyway.

So everything they've said prior is what they think we want to hear.

I'll add the overuse of "Basically" to start every sentence is pretty annoying.

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

...or actually or so!

"Personally speaking"....I find that annoying too!

[masterrig 1]

Another one I find annoying is 'O.K.' as whoever's first word in a sentence.

MY personal most annoying one, ...sentences that always are ended with "You know what I mean?"

IF I knew what you meant the whole time, Why the fuck would I be asking you anything? Ya know what I mean?!

[skyrider 0]

OK, another one..

"fuckin fuck"

as in "he fuckin fuck said", then he fuckin fuck did, and we were fuckin fuck so fuckin fuck shocked!

Shut the fuckin fuck up, till you learn how to fuckin fuck talk!

[masterrig 1]

I know what you mean!


Chuck

[skyrider 0]

To be honest with you, basically, Personally speaking,...Well, OK,.... It is actually so....You know what I mean ,is so fuckin fuck annoying!

[skyrider 0]

"Dude"

[masterrig 1]

Actually, you know, you're right. So, basically, personally speaking and to be honest with you, I'm annoying myself, talking like that!

Not necessarily. To me, it's another way of saying "to be painfully blunt."
Girls used to say it to me back in college.
I'd rather they'd have lied.

So for you it was something along the lines of 'to be honest with you, your equipment just doesn't do it for me'?

Certainly not. They were, uh, critiquing my writing.

To be honest with you, poor penmanship is usually a euphemism for "you don't know how to work your equipment!"
