It's even more troublesome when my sales people use it when they're talking to me. My first response is exactly as you state - "So, does that mean you you haven't been honest up to now?" If you have to use filler, use "To be frank" or "To be candid". Have a good day. TS Scott,
Number 8 probably crawls up my spine more than any of these and it is used by so many, so often. It’s even more troublesome when my sales people use it when they’re talking to me.
My first response is exactly as you state - “So, does that mean you you haven’t been honest up to now?”
If you have to use filler, use “To be frank” or “To be candid”.
Have a good day.
