    Some times you know it's going to be bad news before the sentence finishes ... For example ;
    1 ... About last night ...
    2 ... We need to talk ...
    3 ... My office - NOW ...
    4 ... With all due respect ...
    5 ... Someone told me ...
    6 ... This guy I know ...
    7 ... Your friend said ...
    8 ... It meant nothing ...
    9 ... We really appreciate what you've done 'BUT' ...
    10 ... No it wasn't better ... it was just different ...
    11 ... I'm saying this as your friend ...
    12 ... We are only trying to help you ...
    13 ... (DENTIST SAYS) ... This won't hurt a bit ...
    ...
    PLEASE ADD YOUR OWN EXAMPLES

    Pretty much anything with a "but" negates whatever came before.
