My favorite to use: "not gonna lie to you."

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My coworker once when I asked him a hard question: "Don't make me lie to you."

I still think of that a lot and try to work it in when someone asks me an impossible question.

when someone asks me an impossible question.

I think that response actually works for the loaded question:

“Have you stopped beating your wife?“

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Easy answer: No

Though someone can assume another answer it should be followed up by another question, such as: why not? Then you can explain: "Never started" for instance

Though the answer of "don't make me lie to you" is still a good one and prevents further questions

Implying that you... sometimes do!? :-P

[–] Beefytootz@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

When it comes to how I'm feeling? Sure, often even

Implying that if you said "i'm (fine/ok/alright/good/etc)" would be a lie.

Since it is super easy, barely an inconvenience, I am going to share this link from where my statement came from:-)

(I wish Lemmy would show preview pics of YouTube videos to let people have a glimpse of what they are in for, but hopefully my hints were enough here:-)

Oh! Thank you for the context!

Not off topic at all - when he showed up, the topic became all about him, in true business cat style - he will not allow it any other way!!! 😹

I usually just go with "sheeeeeeeeeeiiiiiit"
