A: Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that we didn’t appreciate your help! B: No worries, no offense taken. Note: This saying means “I was not offended or insulted by what you just said.” Sometimes shortened to “none taken,” it is often a reply to “no offense,” which means “I didn’t mean to offend you.” It’s derived from the phrasal verb “to take offense,” meaning “to become angry or upset by something that another person has said or done.” |
