I pretty much hate all sporting meta4s
I also reject "no offense, but" because it prolly means I'm about to be thrown under the bus.

That's also how I feel about "no worries." When you hear that, it's time to start worrying.

Prolly shouldn't use "No worries" if you're not Australian. Doesn't that come from "No worries, mate"? Isn't that Australian usage? Kerry? ???
And then, of course, there is the cousin of "No worries," namely "Not to worry." :-\
