These two words often used together to somehow discount the obvious nastiness that is said or done by people is just so predictable. What it always says to others is, "I was a complete and utter obvious idiot or jerk and now I am going to act as if it was just a misconstrued statement or action." When really it is plain as day what they said or did and the intention clear when they said or did it.
It would be terribly sad if freepers managed to “misplace” his CDs in stores where they wouldn’t be seen.
