There’s time for one pleasantry. Good day, sir.
“But you just did! …wait!”
“I’m not going to dignify that with a response.” isn’t a pleasantry either, it’s a more brief form of “Just so we’re clear, I’m not distracted and I did hear you, I’m just ignoring you.”
No time for pedantry
The literal-minded still struggling with figurative speech, I see.
No comment
It’s an open secret in media training that “no comment” as a response to a question is in fact a comment. Clients are usually advised to just say nothing.
I would be a terrible client for a PR firm. Media would ask me for a comment, and I’d make up some goofy sound effects they could quote.
“What do you say about the rape allegations against you?”
“Womp Womp”
That’s a good NOFX song…
