abstract
  • It is generally used in an argumentative situation, to make a point that could potentially be otherwise taken in a negative concept. Similar examples are "I'm not a sexist, but I don't feel women deserve equal pay when they are only truly useful 26 out of 29 days." The statement is often a precursor to "petitio principi" (Latin for "It is because I said so"). In modern society there is an aversion to making a statement that may be considered as politically incorrect. This disarming preface has become a cliche due to its usefulness in stating what may be unpleasant or not politically correct. This statement is referred to by linguists as a "but-head" statement.
